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.

Take a look at ANY country, more debt more problems. So why do we allow
our governments more debt? Selfishness, greed, denial?

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 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.

How many jobs have you directly created in the last two years?

Turning food into fuel is what will cause a collapse.

Evidence? Evidence of what? You sit on your pity pot day after day
whining about how the rich are out to get you, specifically.

It really is funny you whining all of the time about about the rich. Do
you ever take the poor out on your boat for a cruise or a day of
fishing? Or, do you not associate with the poor but only talk about
their plight?

The Easter Bunny isn't real? Damn screwed over by my parents again.

HAHAHAH i've posted so much evidence here that little boys like you
have to run and hide

the US is a plutocracy driven into the ground by right wing fanatics
afraid to look at the truth

Funny, you should look at this a an upcoming buying opportunity as the
market knee jerks. Say buy 1000 shares of COP or something. The 3.7%
dividend can pay some towards your energy bills.

Oh wait, fleabaggers don't have much money...

Funny, until last year I too worked for a living. Saved a little often,
learned to invest in myself including investment skills, retired.

You seem bitter, a screw up? Envy and greed are not a path to wealth,
get off your lard ass and invest in yourself. Whining, envy and greed
take away from you getting your crap together.

Now whine on. Self pity seems to be your game. Always someone elses
fault but yours.
