3. This topic goes pretty deep, but I know that we get most of our oil from the middle east, and since we are at war with them right now everything is going to be more difficult. But at the same time prices weren't even this high in 2002, right when the war began.

It doesn't seem fair to people of the middle class to be stripped of their money so someone can get rich. | 3.
