Papantonio: Who's REALLY To Blame For High Gas Prices?

One of the biggest concerns on the minds of American voters this year is the price of gas. And if you listen to Republican politicians and talking heads, you probably believe that President Obama is the sole responsible party when it comes to their pain at the pump. But just like most Republican talking points, the "blame Obama" claim has absolutely no basis in reality. Mike Papantonio talks about who is really to blame about the price of gas, and why the GOP's talking points keep falling flat, with Alternet senior editor Josh Holland.

An interesting article in the UK Guardian recently talked about how Greeks have begun forming huge collectives to buy food directly from farmers.

The price savings for cutting out the capitalists; 2/3 !!

+ farmers make better incomes now too.

It demonstrates just how much capitalism swindles us.

Capitalism is beggaring one's neighbour, with profit hype used to justify iniquity, ownership & copyright etc.

PPL should remember the right do corp sales & ads, not economics.

USA taking cheap & nasty options means others, ie, CO2 recovery in other countries, finds it difficult to develop affordably.

USA right's rat-race nationalist junk is worst polluting imbeciles, Trashing our planet for myopic profiteering dogma.

Evri1 needs to cap capitalism's ranting 'growth'.

One humanity, The People everywhere need to unite and begin investing in populations; The People, health, infrastructure & sustainable development.

Evri1 should go left, democratic & green.
