Gasoline Prices

The gasoline prices keep going up. we have no idea of when they will stop. We went to war because of the oil, but it didn't work. we are still in deep trouble. The rich are getting richer and poor are getting pooer. The big companies are making billions, while we are here struggling to make ends meet. It doesn't get better as days go by. We have to decide on what to buy - if it's gas for our cars or pantry supplies. Our jobs we must keep or wind up in the streets. What can we do? Our wages don't go up, but the gas prices keep going up and up. If people are rich they don't care. They have money to spare. But the rest of us are left almost bare. Should we go on a general strike and boycut their gas? All I lnow is that we have to get out of this mess. We need to stick together. We need a strong voice to support us. One man alone can't do the job. He will be labeled as an instigator. We should get together that is all I know, or we will all wind up in the hole. They say we are all equal, but I don't think so, because I don't see us getting our share and that my friends - is not fair...
