When they rig the price of oil back up there, and you are paying $100s more per year to drive, remember to remind yourself that if crony capitalism steals your $$$, that's O.K. because unlimited profits = "Freedom".

Of course, if you paid the same amount in taxes to the government to provide healthcare, education, etc. that's "stealing".

Or so Rush and Faux tell 'em.
