You know what's weird?
That we pay for bottled WATER from the stores and we never give it a second thought to complain about the price of it.
I think paying hard earned money for something so silly as bottled WATER is even worse than the current gasoline prices.
Actually, a HUGE chunk of change per gallon of gas is turned over to state governments. It's the gasoline tax that is really socking it to us. During this fuel "crisis", why doesn't the state govs give us little guys a break??
I mean, they
don't explore for the oil, they
don't drill & retrieve the oil, they
don't refine and transport the oil and the
don't manage, advertise and sell the product!! Some people cry on about crazy conspiracies concerning 'Big Oil'...... What about Big Government?? Big Gov takes none of the risks, does none of the work and yet skims in a freakin' HUGE amount of dough from those who do (and did).
I'm tired of being taxed at every turn. The gas pump is only one more blow against our financial independence.
Okay, I'm done with the soapbox.................
