It just illustrates his point...Oil companies are far more competitive and vicious when it comes to their business...Which I happen to agree with.

Put it to you this way:

There are actually some people in America that actually LIKE high Gas prices.

Take a wild guess as to who?

For one they all own stock in oil companies....from Bush to Kerry they all love Mobil/Exxon, Conoco Philips, etc etc

For two most the high prices on gas are due to taxes.

Politicians is a mix. Some either own stock or take massive contributions from the oil industry. Just remember the next time Senetor James Inhofe (R-OK) refers to Global warning as a "farce" that it was Big Oil the paid for most of his campaign. His denial of basic science is not without reason.

At the same time, Politicans don't like high gas prices. High gas prices creates lots of very angry voters, voters who generally come out in droves on election day to voice their displeasure.
