Time To Ask For Our Gas Money Back

May 28, 2007 ⋅  E-Mail Article ⋅  Print Article ⋅ Post a comment

We have been paying the high price of gas because of a potential conflict with Iran, insufficient oil supply for holiday travel needs, low refinery production. Well, America has begun unfreezing diplomatic talks with Iran, we have an overabundance of holiday gas left, and refinery capacity is growing. This all begs the question, ‘When will I see my gas rebate or at least my major adjustment at the pump?’ If they dinged us for high gas prices on speculation then why can’t we get some of this back when the speculation fails? Like a bad bet, the gas stations gambled and lost so where is our reduction in prices? Why should they get to gouge and keep the profits? Give us our money back or let’s have some legal action. It’s ridiculous we get gouged and nothing happens afterwards. Lets have our politicians and state attorney generals sue these gas stations and fine them and use the money for our roads and our children’s education, let’s not let oil companies and gas stations get rich at our expense.

For far too long have we tolerated being the victim in relation to gas gouging. Rather than listen to ridiculous oil profits let’s redirect these oil profits into the department of human services and lets help out or needed foster care system. Let’s also pop some of this money into our children’s education funding for states in trouble. It’s time we stand up for our selves and get some of our gas gouging money back, or at least get something back in return for this gouging.

Do not be fooled; do not just let this gas gouging go. Encourage local and state action. Get something back for your buck; do not let the gas and oil companies profit from you needlessly. You have been taken advantage of and now its time you get your justice and take back from the gas stations and oil companies what they have stolen from you.
