http://EnergyInvestingNews.org/ Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), member of the House Appropriations Committee...."We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market."
The major oil firms are not owned by the American 'people'. They are multinational corporations, they do business globally, and have investors from around the globe. They act in the interest of their corporation. If they can get more profits from holding oil out of the market, (pinching demand, thereby increasing price) they will.

Don't the American People OWN the major companies? Isn't it already controlled by The People?
