GAS prices down because of upcoming elections, after elects are over it's gonna jump back to arm & leg?

Question

My friend/owner of a gas station told us this. Why "all of a sudden" is this? If this is true It makes me want to just do away with everyone in power and just bring in a whole new group! I'm sick of the way things are so hard on the "working" "middle class" It's like the Governments way of saying anyone who makes less salary than the upper class can kiss their *ss. Because they make/take so much $ and fill up their hummer and go that extra mile just to run US over and not think twice about it! Oh yeah, Gov., keep up the good samaritin/charity work sending food and money too other countries, don't even worry about the poor and needy in the U.S. Thanks to all of us civilians who do charity work, donations, and anything we can afford to, or make the time to do, YOU make a difference to "our fellow Americans" and anyone else in the U.S. who are less fortunate. Even though our family is doggy paddling just to keep our heads above water, the future sounds like a lot more waves ahead.

Answer 1

The wheels of Capitalism are oiled by the Blood of the Workers

Vote for change and educate people to do the same because you honestly care about people regardless of their political affiliation....this can be done in a non-partisan way by just focusing on Facts and reality putting emotions aside....people react defensively when you words are loaded with righteous emotions which is why the liberal left are virtually unheard by anyone on the other side......
See your Question I'm answering is emotionally charged so needless to say the answers will be primarily polarized

Emotions are good but not when you are trying to cross the line to educate and enlighten someone that feels we should ALWAYS listen to our leaders

Only 3 reasons why any middle class person voted for GWB these last 2 elections

1- Greed.....well I'm going to be rich like them someday....I want to be on the winning team mentality

2- Ignorance- You believed whatever UR fed from a person in power....(I should be afraid b/c of terrorists) which is why the religious are his primary Base.

3- Combination of the two...

Understand this and you can maintain a balance in your political opinions which the other side will more often listen to

Answer 2

It seems like it goes up in the summer time when people are running around more.It is something how it can go up and down,who is doing it?You are right,they really dont care about us,just the vote and once they get in there they do what they want and line thier pockets.They make a lot of money for doing nothing for us.Signed,Free Little Lillie

Answer 3

No. Too many things caused the spike in prices, especially the hurricane season last year. And with the new oil findings and the possibility of drilling in the ANWR getting closer, oil prices should be more reasonable for quite a while

Answer 4

I'm having some of the same issues with the sudden drop in gas prices. It seems way too convenient this close to an election.
