Mario, The real problem is that you refuse to accept, not understand, the Queens position in Canada. > Readers can click on the website above and see that > gasoline prices in Canada are consistently well > above prices in the US. As a socialist country, we impose a 50% tax on petroleum products. The tax is used to fuel Canada's envious health care system. Speaking in Toronto yesterday, Bill Clinton called the US health care system "insane." See below. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060516.LEADERS16/TPStory/?query=clinton > Since his election the President of Venezuela has > changed the Venezuelan constitution to make himself > a virtual socialist dictator. Hugo Chavez faces an election within the year. His current approval rating is 61%. I need not mention that George Bush's approval rating is 29%. > So much for the President and Vice President of the > US having any control as "oil men". DUH! Restricting supply, sends the price of oil and profits up. Is this difficult to understand? > Mervyn's comments about their personal financial > portfolios is false, since, by law, these have all > been placed in blind trusts and are being managed at > arms-length by independent trustees. Both men have a long history of having the major part of their portfolios in oil. There is no trustee in the world who will take this info and use it to invest in, say, the dot com sector. > This is a false statement.

Hugo Chavez supplies all of America with cheap gas. In Venezuela, a litre of petrol sells for three US cents. Venezuela supplies Cuba and Columbia with oil at affordable prices. Chavez also ran a very popular program in the north east US of supplying the poor with affordable gas. It was popular because it saved some US residents from freezing to death last winter. The US oil multinationals had to lobby congress to get CITGO to stop this program else the US companies would lose market share and have to shut down. Lastly, George Bush's achievement in office is that he has presided over rising prices of oil in the US and the value of the US Dollar going down. Do you still think this man is the counterpart of the Queen of Canada? Mervyn3.0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
