How is it that everyone complaining about high gas prices can see this simple relationship:

increased gas prices = people buy less gas [corollary: people buy more fuel efficient cars]

but they cannot see these relationships:

increased minimum wage = people buy less minimum wage labor

increased business taxes = less business

increased capital gains taxes = less capital
