Make a Strike make Cents

The strike on April 1st fizzled and didn't accomplish much other than to get alittle air time on the problem and make a few 4 wheelers angry.
Face it, neither congress nor the president control the price of fuel at the barrel. OPEC does and a strike isn't going to make them drop the price for anything.
What else drives our price so high? The lack of local oil resources, the lack of adequate refining capability, and taxation. Federal, State, and Local.
Organization is necessary for a strike to work and unfortunately with truck drivers that's alittle hard to come by. However, in a perfect world, suppose drivers and most of all companies were organized. Suppose you had companies willing to work with shippers and receivers for a shut down. Suppose instead of driving slowly along I 20 between Atlanta and Birmingham and pissing off all the comuters, trucks converged on state capitols while their state senate was in session. Not for just a couple of hours as a show, but maybe for a couple of days.
With the involvement of companies, shippers and receivers and drivers and the way so many loads these days are JIT loads, it could be an attention getter. People tend to take notice when they are cold and hungry, and with everyone involved that could easily be achieved.
The point would be to decide what the goal of a strike is. More refineries? Even if it was approved, it would be a few years before they were on the line. Open up drilling? ANWAR? The Gulf? It's the same, it would be a few years before that oil was on line and doing any of us any good.
My opinion is to attack the taxes. Not just this small time holiday the politicos are talking about for the summer, but something more permanent for the commercial fleet.
Like I say....in a perfect world.
