How many of you rushed off to the gas station when there was all the hype during the hurricanes? I did, searching all over town for that half cent cheaper gasoline. Well, now that I know it really wasn't necessary, no shortages, I feel lured and stupid. Taken in by advertising. I just saw on the news that the gas/oil companies are now asking congress for, brace yourself... A temporary windfall tax break! What's a "temporary" windfall? All windfalls are tempory! Can I use that line when I earn a pitance more in my paycheck? NO! How about if I win the lottery? NO! Just being amazed at how far greed will go.IP: Logged |
