About this Quote

This quote by Maurice Hinchey is referring to the underhanded practice of cost gouging, which is when companies raise prices of goods or services to an unreasonable degree. In this case, Hinchey is referring to the oil business and also exactly how they are taking advantage of the American public by billing them an extreme amount for their items.
