    I like this part... gas prices in our country apparently coincide with inflation in our country. In
    a year's time, gas prices have risen from an average of $2.11/gal to about $2.96/gal. That is about
    a 40% increase. There is no way inflation has gone up 40% in a year. Generally, inflation is about 3-
    4% per year. Take the average salary as an example. A salary of $40,000 in 2005 would inflate 3.5%
    to a realistic $41,400 in 2006. Take the 40% gas increase and apply that same so-called inflation to
    the $40,000 salary; your 2006 salary is $56,000.

    Gas prices do NOT reflect inflation in this country. They, instead, reflect the classic example of
    American greed. With the knowledge that the Exxon CEO just retired with a $400 million dollar
    retirement package, I dare you to continue saying gas prices are the result of inflation. I dare you
    to blame the Iraqi war. I dare you to blame it is the next natural disaster. Research the subject a
    little more. Prove me wrong with facts, and I will accept that greed is not involved. Until proven
    otherwise, greed is the driving force behind the increase in gas prices.
