Really it's from kind hearted liberals going into the jungles and telling the banana eaters that they are poor. They lived that way 3000 years eating monkeys and now someone says they live in destitute poverty. Lets chop down your jungle and make you a village with a water pump and refrigeration to store your food. No more monkey eating. So now they need gas to run the pump, to bring in the food and to run the generator. This creates a shortage that raises the price that the wealthy Americans must pay at the pump. I swear it's the truth.
