I won't pretend to have read all the replies here... but here's my take:
It becomes "gouging" when you let your inner libtard out and become butt hurt over prices.
sure you can bitch, but you're under no obligation to buy. Once people realize this one little fact, prices will drop.
now, if the .gov is involved in some way, than the above is thrown out the window and all bets are off.
