The ignorant and ill-informed will be voting in mass quantities this fall. Many of the thinking Americans will have their votes canceled out by stupid people whose only concern is the price of a gallon of gas. I guess their argument goes something like this: Gas prices are high; George Bush is President; he is a Republican; I will vote Democrat. This is what I call a non-thinking American. For those of you who think that Barack Obama will solve our gas price problem, tell me what he will do. Do you think this because of his vast experience in the oil and gas industry? He has none. Do you think he will help by raising taxes on the oil companies? This makes prices go up. Maybe you think that HOPE will bring prices down. Wow, what logic.
I understand that many people think that the oil companies need to be punished for making money, but what you don’t realize is that higher taxes will cause them to raise prices. HELLO! Put your emotion away for a minute and use your head for something other than a can crusher.
By the way, since when did making money become the ultimate sin in America? Why don’t we have the same outrage over the unbelievable amount of money the government steals from us? We lose more money to government than any oil company ever dreamed of getting form us.
Hey people, quit whining. Suck it up and stop relying on government to every single problem in your life. If you’re having financial problems because of the price of gas, go make more money. Get a grip.
