Gasoline and home heating oil prices are rising in advance of anticipated disruptions in availability.
Yet employees and pensioners are asked to accept freezes in cost of living increases for increases that have already happened.
Is there a double standard for the ordinary person vs. a huge corporation?
Exxon Oil registered the largest profit of any corporation every in the last quarter of 2009 yet there is little talk of regulation, freezes or cut-backs on government benefits for industry there. (Halts on drilling in the Gulf are being lifted even as baby dolphins drift up onto Gulf beaches.)
The people who are pushing freezes and cut-backs on wages, benefits, jobs and collective bargaining rights for the working class are against regulation of industry and business.
