How Does the Price of Gas Effect YOUR budget?

Funny you bring that up. I just yesterday passed 2 of those 'motorized' bikes, on the street. I believe that this spring I'll do just that.

 

And my point is proven. Thanks, Silicon.

Republicans do not care about the working class, and this thread's attempt to make it seem like they do is disingenuous at best.

 

Do you think that a company that develops an alternative energy technology will choose not to involve the largest economy in the world?

 

No, THIS republican doesn't care about the working class. Because I am working class and know both working class and upper middle class/rich people and by far the upper middle class/rich people I know are better people.

 

Yes. Most of the tech work is done within the EU, and we've just signed partnership agreements with China. But we'll sell you products.

 

Don't be so down on yourself, son.

 

You realize that Big Oil gets more tax breaks and is even handed taxpayer money in the form of subsidies, than 90% of all industries, right?

As far as other companies - notably MNE's, you think they move due to how much they pay in taxes?
Tsk tsk tsk. Cut down on the kool-aid buddy. That's not the reason.

Hey, weren't you just complaining in another thread about GE & GM paying zero taxes?

 

My habits are already very energy conserving and thrifty.

 

I think that bribery from Big Fossil Fuel is making everyone dependent on Big Fossil Fuel.

 

So do you still love Big Fossil Fuel now, Einstein?

 

Spoken like a true Republican.

And you Republicans wonder why I don't like you?

 

The price of gas effects everything about my budget...everything down to paying the water bill because even the water company sends people around to read the meter and charge us the increase in gasoline costs. Nothing...nothing isn't effected by the cost of gas.

 

And..yet..you..righties..still..love..Big Fossil Fuel.

I am really, really rather astounded.

 

Yep, love it. I say let's drill here and take what we have and thumb our noses at all those Muslims. You will notice the operative word is "right"...as we always are!

 

I say we should drill here too. But of course, you righties are purposefully ignorant. You don't know that alternatives ARE viable, it's just that Big Fossil Fuel lobbyists as well as Big Government/Big Oil secret undercover relations are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing us over.

If you don't believe that, you've got your head in the sand, mate.

Spoken like a true collectivist.

 

Might they be better people than you because they do care?

 

Then how do you suggest we power our cars and trucks

Go to the Flintstone mode of transporation?

 

Then I can only assume that you think you're special and deserve by far the lowest priced petrol in the West. Or, that working class people are not paid enough in your country.

 

It is a police of "all your eggs in one basket" isn't it? Which is an incredible dumb position to take!

 

This works best if one has more than one egg.

 

It has no real impact. If you can't budget that extra few buck then you should shut off you Internet and then you could make up the cost. It's a personal responsibility issue.

 

Again your knowledge of Economics 101 is thin to say the least.

When gas prices go up the cost of everything goes up do to shipping costs

Also, truck drivers can go out of business since they are unable to make a profit given the already think margins they have to deal with

The lkast time gas hit $4/gal that ws the tipping point in the Bush economy and it may be the same for the Obama economy

It is so esy for libs to sit back and lecture people about their finances when they are the ones responsible for getting us in the mess we are in

 

Then learn how to budget better. Stop blaming everyone else for you bad budgeting. Do you take responsibility for anything? People who always blame others for their problems are the most pathetic people I know.
