When the oil companies pay royalties and stop receiving tax breaks then the real price of gas will be reflected in the pump price instead of being hidden in the congressional giveaway of the public wealth. That will be better for everyone.

Higher gasoline prices will be better for everyone? I'm not sure which side of the aisle your on with that comment. At once you are saying let's raise gas prices to their real levels (hurt the poor) while you call the money congress spends the "public wealth"? I'm totally confused.

So while gas prices rose because that was the market at the time, that wasn't okay but if they rise as a direct result of Democratic congressional action, that would be fine by you?
