Was there artificial price inflation from commodity speculators? Was there government malaise? Were oil companies making obscene profits?
Ooh!! Ooh!! I know!! YES!!
Ok...so can anyone present how much of a profit the 'oil company' sees on each gallon sold?
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
