Asunto: Re: "the wealthy subsidizes the gas to keep prices lower for the poor"

The Usurper: Look.... the government subsidizes the oil industry, the government gets most of its money from wealthy people, and they certainly get none from poor people, these subsidies make it possible for $2 gas instead of $8 without them... this has nothing to do with price gouging (maybe there is gouging, but that doesnt change the fact that subsidies keep gas prices lower)

So in effect, it is the wealthy americans paying to keep gas prices lower for the poor people....something I would think you would advocate for not against?
