Russia is the number 1 country in the world in oil production. Why is gasoline more expensive here than in the USA and its price continues to rise? United Russia (Party of Crooks and Thieves) and Putin's incompetent, corrupt government must be held accountable for their failures. Putin and the United Russia crooks are confident in their toughness and impunity. BUT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR PERSONAL LITTLE REVENGE: Come to the polls and vote for any party except United Russia.
