If we got rid of the government subsidies paid to oil companies, would consumers have a better idea of how much oil costs? That way the sticker shock could work it's magic, and we could invest in some alternative energy sources? My understanding is a free market is one that operates independent of government control...and supply and demand control the prices. So, shouldn't the consumer make their decision based on a TRUE market price, not one subsidized by tax dollars?
