It should also be pointed out that Cheney has been caught on tape on several occasions as CEO of Halliburton encouraging, cheerleading, cajoling, begging OPEC to hold the line on production limits to boost oil prices. In other words, he was encouraging the actions of an illegal cartel to benefit his company. How un-American! Halliburton and Cheney may not have literally raised oil prices, but they suck at the teats of OPEC and Big Oil.

What? Oil prices are set by the market, not congress.

Murali. You make a good point, however this is all about raising the price of oil.

ex: Denmark Gas is $5.00 per gal
Taxes are 50% of income
