In the end, the thing we should all consider is how much of a socialist state we want. Show me the article in the constitution (federal or any state) that gives the government the power to dictate price. And don't give me the line about monopolies.

Yeah, lets preserve our "democracy" and let capitalism run away with price gouging on our precious commodities without any goverment oversight. Do you think the farmers should gouge our food sources and we go hungry because they want a higher return on thier profits. Hey, its our choices to purchase food products or not, right? Without a car, how are ya going to get to work. Ride a horse to work like our ancestors did?
