Default Argument against high gas prices

Ah. Okay, so everybody's hollering about the price of gasoline because
there's nothing better to do. Thanks for clearing that up.


They complain, but they don't curtail their use much, if at all. What does
that tell you?

You don't think gas station owners are suffering right now?


Maybe, maybe not. It might be time for some of them to consider
alternatives if they are. However, since consumption hasn't gone down much
I suspect the gas station owners are doing just fine, thank you.

The oil industry is making record profits in the history of the world.

All
anybody is asking them to do is not make so much so that America isn't the
loser.


Their shareholders love them for it. You might even know some of the people
who are sharing in those record profits - some of them are probably your
neighbors, fellow pilots, and maybe even an FBO owner or two.
