Reply #22: If They're Spending That Money And Not Feeling It...

[KharmaTrain]

then that says something right there. Hell, I loathe spending $45 to fill my tank...and I've cut back on a lot of my traveling. But I know many others who will bitch and still keep filling cause "they have to". In my area, it's somewhat understandable, cause here in Pleasant Valley Sunday, nothing is within walking distance and there's almost no public transportation...all people see here are the high prices and blame anyone and everyone.

The problem isn't people getting angry at oil companies...they already are...and the oil companies could care less. Shame 'em? Rich people can buy their way away from shame...surround themselves with toadies...and what good will that do?

The pressure should be on our congresscritters who, again, approve the massive spending this regime does that drives the dollar's value down and thus has helped to soar oil prices. Cut the funding for much of this regime's corporate welfare games...fund only the withdrawl of troops from Iraq, raise taxes on those earning over $100k a year and cut out the billions being thrown at defesne contractors and mercenaries...and let's see where the dollar and price of oil go. Or force his assholines to veto and shut this government down. The oil companies won't do this...but your congresscritter can and must.
