Gee Dubya at the Pumps
Texas. The national average price of gasolene is anywhere around $3.10 per gallon. And usually, everytime there is a gas hike, there's usually a very good reason for it. 9-11, Desert Storm, Desert Sheild, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Wilma, Tsunami, Earthquakes, Indigestion, the sky being blue, blah blah blah blah...
Well, President Gee Dubya has stepped up to the plate to bat for us taxpayers at the pump. Passing through congress a bill that will give us $100 back during tax season next year. Yep, that's right, one hundred dollars. A one, with two zero's behind it. Of course, you'll be taxed on that. Which after state and federal will come to $3.10.
Does anybody remember the 1970's? When people were lined up at the pumps for miles? When locking gas caps were a necessity? Does anybody out there feel the need to syphon gas? I know after I put $50 in my gas tank and came out with a half tank of gas I was eyeing that little Geo Metro with it's gas cap open, urging me to drink it's magical juice inside with a clear plastic tube. Well, let's all write our President and thank him for the $3.10, I'm sorry $100 rebate at the end of the year.
Oil companies are robbing us blind, making an enormous profit, and Gee Dubya is going to give them a tax break as well! I'm riding my bike to work, but the price gouge is going to carry over into every aspect of your life. From buying groceries, flying, heating your home, buying any products shipped by truck, plane, or train.
