I believe that every American born person is entitled to the resources that are in the continental USA.  The petroleum should be exploited by the government and sell to the people ONLY for the cost of extracting the petroleum and refining it. Unfortunately, that  is not the case. Fantastic contracts are made with the Oil producers which make BILLIONS of dollars in profit, pay very little tax and speculators play the game with the price of oil by deciding when to bring it up or down depending of the whim of certain conditions or elements that would like a quick profit.  In reality the users of gasoline are the real victims of the government and gigantic oil companies.  I am not a socialist or communist.   I only want what is best for the people that inhabit this great country!
