Why we get screwed

I was listening to Bill O’Rielly when he explained how OPEC keeps production down to drive up the price of oil. How our oil company keeps refinement down to drive up prices and how speculators buy large quantities of Oil at high prices, which again drives our oil prices through the roof. We are screwed by our own people who sit back and laugh at us as we struggle to make ends meet. We have kept the same Congressmen and Senators in office year after year and they have not done a damn thing to make it better for us.

I believe that the right to reasonably priced housing, medical care, electricity, safe water, gas and food is a citizen's right by birth and it is the job of our Governors, Congressmen, Senators and President to ensure that we receive the above human needs at a reasonable price.

It is time that we as citizens instill in our elected officials that we the citizens of the country come before the rich and their own needs. I say again, what has your elected official done for you lately?
