Outrageous
By: George Wilder
Times for some people are really bad. Our Government and others are trying to lay the blame of high prices on almost everything on the recent hurricanes in the Gulf. In fact, prices were spirling out of control before the hurricanes. The destruction of the hurricanes are being used as an excuse, by those who wanted to raise their prices in the first place. And they are basically saying to us, grin and bare it. The high gas prices has caused massice and on going inflation on everything possible. And has turn some middle class and working class American families into dirt poor citizens.
Most of us are not millionaires and the high gas prices had brought some of us to our knees. Foreclosures and evictions are at an all time high, because Americans can no longer afford to keep paying bills that keep getting higher. Even though, some Americans have decent jobs, some do blame the gas prices. Americans and their lifestyles have changed. More people have fallen below poverty than ever before. Deep poverty had forced some politicans to take full notice of this massive problem. One the other hand, The workplace has become a fierce domain for some Americans. Some are being fired without explanation.
Others are taking hugh and deep pay cuts. There is no doubt that some Americans are being mistreated by their over zealous bosses. They are also being told to take the bullshit or get out. Everyone have their own individual budget to balance, and most will balance their budgets by any means nessasary.
We has law abiding Americans must stand and fight inflation or it will bury each and every one of us. It affects us all, including the media. We cannot sit back while gas prices hit six dollars a gallon, this is making the old companies rich, and it is making us poor.
The higher the gas prices go, the higher everything else will rise. We must protest because if they know we sit and take it, the more garbage they will dump on us. We protest it like it’s a war, and it is a war, and it’s on the average American consumer.
There are already in some parts of the world people fighting over gas at the pump. The best way to combat high prices of any kind is not to buy. If everyone in America, stop buying for a week, manufacturers, retailers, advertisers, airliners, and Wall Street would taking beating, and that would being prices down so low that it would be almost laughable.
I have seen people drive up to the gas pump and say, that it was nothing they could do but pay the high prices because they needed their car. to drive. Hey, I need my car to drive. The gas companies also know that.
We have to hit them back when they hit us, or they will forever take advanage of us all. We are the people, as one we are strong, standing as one we have a voice. Everyone out there is after our hard earned dollar. Lets not give it away so easily.
