If other countries can protest against rising oil prices, why cant we in the U.S.?

Motorist and buses, jeepneys operators, drivers protest to the goverment of the Philippines against the rising oil prices. They go on strike to force the goverment to investigate oil companies if their rising prices is justifiable. Then why cant motorist in the U.S. do similar protest?If other countries can protest against rising oil prices, why cant we in the U.S.?
We can, but we don't. Prices in other countries are two or three times higher than in the U.S. People in other countries spend a larger portion of their incomes on gasoline. What we should protest is not the price of motor fuel, but the lack of mass transit and fuel efficient vechicles.If other countries can protest against rising oil prices, why cant we in the U.S.?
Bush is one of the oil barons from Texas...DUH!
protest
There is nothing to protest. Fuel prices in the USA are only a fraction of those found in other countries. Must be President George Bush's fault that we this fortunate position.
We can and we should.





Americans pay as much if not more than the rest of the world pays for fuel, but we pay it in hidden taxes-not at the pump.





Europeans, Canadians, etc. pay the full price for the cost of fuel at the pump.





American oil companies get kickbacks from the government paid for by the American taxpayer.





Bush's war has driven up the cost of fuel as well.





It has cut the supply of oil coming out of Iraq and led to higher prices across the boards.





Bush's buddies in the oil business are posting record profits and getting tax kickbacks all at the expense of the American motorist.





Americans are too poor to take it to the streets.





The American corporate media always underestimates the size of crowds at protests.





Bush dismisses any size crowd of American citizens as being just a ';focus group';.
No one said you could not protest high oil prices.
