Here is a way for you to send congress a message they have to listen to.en-us2008-07-24T18:02:432008-07-24T18:02:43http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.htmlStardock Rss Generator v1.0, Andrew Powellinfo@stardock.comapowell@stardock.comCikomyrhttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/3019311. Gasoline prices have doubled
2. Fuel oil prices have tripled
3. Electricity has doubled

those 3, I don't really mind. After all, the prices are supposed to go up, and China's consumption of energy is growing expodentially, while America's economy is getting slower and slower (after all, it's not really the oil price that is going high, it's the american dollars who is going down)

BUT:

4. Oil company profits have skyrocketed


That one really bothers me. After all, they COULD sell the oil lower if they really had too much profits. The whole idea that "the economy is going the right by because it balances itself" is that over-profitable businesses gain more and more competition.

What is happening? Why are their profits going so high? The gasoline price they sell us must then be too high, or the oil price is too high when they sell it. A price has to be too high somewhere for them to have overprofitable businesses.]]>http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:02:43 -04002008-07-24T18:02:43Cikomyr on Help to "Take Back America"SanChoninohttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931The dollar is just awful against the euro.

Ain't that the truth. I walk around in stores and think, Wow, that's a pretty good price! Then I do the Euro-dollar conversion in my head, and I start to cry when I realize how much it REALLY is to me.]]>http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:02:43 -04002008-07-24T18:02:43SanChonino on Help to "Take Back America"ASaxyGirlhttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931

Ahh, SC... I needed a laugh today.


We just moved back to Texas from Hawaii, and I was looking forward to a nice break from the ridiculous OCONUS prices, but damn, things are nearly as expensive here as they were there.


Say it ain't so, TW! We're heading back to CONUS this summer. The dollar is just awful against the euro. ]]>http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:02:43 -04002008-07-24T18:02:43ASaxyGirl on Help to "Take Back America"Texas Wahinehttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931

My family is definitely feeling it.]]>http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:02:43 -04002008-07-24T18:02:43Texas Wahine on Help to "Take Back America"Island Doghttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/302157You cant get fired for calling in sick.

Well actually you can depending on your attendance record and prior performance.  Not working for one day is not going to affect anything, politicians could care less if you work or not.

Don't vote for any of them, write-in someone, that will be more effective.

#1 is dangerous. In case you are too young to remember, it has been tried, in the early 70, with disasterous results.

#2 is good, but unfortunately congress does not have the balls or inclination to do a thing about it.

#4 is akin to saying you are going to hold your breath. Good luck.

And of course #3 should happen, but then are you going to walk into your bosses office and tell him you want a pay cut? That is what you are saying congress should do - except they are the boss as well.]]>http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931http://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:02:43 -04002008-07-24T18:02:43Dr Guy on Help to "Take Back America"SanChoninohttp://hroscoe.joeuser.com/article/301931I for one average another $700 - 900 dollars monthly in additional expenses.

For what?

I suggest we hit where it hurts the most.  Don't break the law....Don't refuse to pay taxes......Have a STRIKE, a WORK STOPPAGE! 

I don't think so.  Congress or any politician could care less if you go on "strike", and the only thing you will accomplish is getting yourself fired.

I don't think Congress would give a damn if I just stayed home, since I'm on the wrong side of the planet.

I already read it. Why post this one?
