Cal Thomas argues that price hikes stem from regulatory and tax burdens rather than supplier gouging. He notes taxes add about 42 cents per gallon, refinery diversification costs from 15 gasoline types, and risks like pipeline outages. He warns broad price controls fail, urging market mechanisms and consumer behavior as the solution.
