Socialized Gasoline?

Who is Responsible for High Fuel Prices?

Should The Finger Pointers Plead Guilty?

Tele prompted to point a finger
And shift the blame?
Plead your case.

One penny for you and seven for me.
Please stop being so greedy,

Mister Oil Man.

Guv needs all it can grab,

So settle for half a cent.

Pointing a finger,
Is another way to lie.
Fast moving lips, I guess,
Need to rest sometimes.

Business as usual,
As you were.
More new taxes
Are being stirred.

    Great commentary and I am wondering why the Big Profit oil companies need a tax break in the first place?
