Fuel prices may moderate
Oil took a 10% dive today as speculators started selling off positions out of fear the top price has been seen. These speculators should have to pay a huge tax on their profits since they're causing so many Americans to pay inflated prices at the pump and causing inflation in every sector of retail. NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a historic selloff, erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long climb in energy prices may have hit a ceiling. Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded their positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an outright freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits to double digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110. Brent crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a sell-off that exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse, Reuters reported. An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price is moving toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should be. For the American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices that have begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may be at hand. |

Top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes. You should get a job and pay some yourself instead of whining. You live in a country with lots of opportunities and prefer self pity. You are fat and lazy in the head. Typical fleabagger. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. Take a look at ANY country, more debt more problems. So why do we allow our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed, denial? |

Top 20% already pay 80% of the taxes. and their share of national income has skyrocketed. income taxes are BARELY progressive. we are becoming a plutocracy. the rich own FAR more of america than they did 20 years ago. the US has the worst GINI coefficient of any western industrialized democracy but the fact that this often leads to national collapse...like egypt...seems not to bother you. You should get a job and pay some yourself instead of whining. You live in a country with lots of opportunities and prefer self pity. You are fat and lazy in the head. Typical fleabagger. you right wingers think that those of us who objectively evaluate EVIDENCE are lazy whereas you guys who believe in fairy tales are realiists it's like saying the easter bunny is real and those who disagree dont like eggs. |

Saved a little often, learned to invest in myself including investment skills, retired. You seem bitter, a screw up?
