I'm a small business owner and investor. Oil speculation must be regulated. Oil is of huge importance to business, government, agriculture, utilities and the public. Its price affects everything.
The only people benefiting from speculation are investment houses and the extremely rich. Manipulating oil prices is the only avenue that remains to them for raping the general public. They sucked all of the money out of the real estate market and got away with a slap on the wrist and a government bailout. They've been behind just about every recent stock market bubble. The rich keep getting richer and the middle class is dissolving away to nothing. Soon we'll just have the rich and the poor.
We are rapidly becoming a third world country. Let this sort of thing continue and we'll all be looking to China for world leadership.
