True we(americans) in comparison dont pay what the rest of the world does when it comes too gas. We still pay alot due too americans drive far more than any other country.It's not rare to see people commuting 60+ miles oneway to work.Thats over 120miles a day.I know of alot of people putting whole checks into their cars just too get too work and from work.That is money that is not going back into the local economy but is instead going into the Gas companies pockets.When you have a economy where everyday families are paying so much for gas, that they barely have enought too pay for bills an the house payment,they dont spend.That hurts the national economy.They are not out there spending.Which inturn hurts small an big business's.True the national minimum is going to increase but most people already make more than minimum wage.I use too work as a temp an was making like $9.50hr and I am single with no kids.To me we the minimum wage is a joke the cost of living has already past what the goverment thinks minimum wage should be.So if they do raise it,it really would'nt help.these gas prices are a JOKE!!!! It is sad how everyday we wake up too go to our jobs so that we can work for a better future for our familes,to live the AMERICAN DREAM.But instead we get raped by the big oil conglomerations.Our economy has already shown some slowth.I think in 2003 or 2002 the job groth was at 5% now two or three yrs later its at 4% not alot but it has slown down.well thats just what I think.I might be wrong too worry but I am very concerned with the way this country is heading.I think everyone for one day boycott the oil compaines.Fill up the day before an reframe from going to the gas stations for 1 day.Show them that we are tired of the excuess of why oil barrels are going up,becaues of terrorist because their pipe line had a small leak in their system because of the hurricane.They just love world events. I think if Brittney Spears has another kid their gonna use that for an excuess too.anyways,lolz I think I wrote too much already.I'm out.THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!!!Sorry so long.
