Default WHAT/?!!

if you havea mirastar gas station near your local walmart like i do, they offer a 3 cent discount on fuel if you go and buy a walmart gift card and use it for gas! This guy isnt doing anything wrong. Oh wait, hes just a normal guy trying to help the old out. Thats why he got over powered and had to raise his prices.[:@][:@]

I wonder if it's a conicidence that Wisconsin's gas excise tax ranks 7th among the 50 states. These bureaucrats sure know what's best for the public...

Come on guys, we all know we live in a consumer capitalist nation whose sole underlying principle is to make a lot of money for a few people.

Not only is your interpretation of capitalism incorrect, but the country was not founded for capitalism's sake. It was a part of it, but not an underlying reason, and certainly not the sole one at that.

States like to regulate gas prices for whatever reasons. Some do it for increase revenues, some to attempt to cut usage, some to pay for all kinds of BS garbage coming from the state capitol. The gas companies get their money regardless, and they're not the ones enforcing state laws.

Nope. The soleunderlying principlewas freedom. That has been lost in many respects, but the natural consequence of freedom is that some folks find ways to make more money than others.

Bingo. Capitalism is nothing more than economic freedom. It is a by-product of, not a cause of,our society.

Some people on the left-side of the political spectrum (who shall remain nameless) want to make us more and more like European Countries. These are the same exact countries our forefathers fled from and tried to differ from. Look at the issues like gun control, socialist wellfare, high tax rates, etc. This country was started because of rejection to these entities. Thats why the constitution was written. Funny how the Democratic party seems to embrace the issues our Founding Fathers rejected.

Yes, freedom from English taxes, aka freedom for capitalism.

Man I will not hold it against you if you finally come out of your conservative closet and let you liberality come out in full bloom! We Moderates have a realistic view of society and the world and can handle it.
