They Pay 2% on Your Dime...
This news should make every good American riot at the pumps. Iraqis are paying five cents a gallon for gas -- on average, two percent of what we're paying -- and the kicker is, that price is because of subsidies handed out by... the American tax payer.
Yeah, damn, it'd be nice if our tax dollars went to help us, and knock down the price of gas. But no. Instead, we're paying out the ass, and never mind that we're paying 18 cents a gallon in Federal taxes. Which wind right back up the pipeline to give Iraqis cheap gas.
Fuck this shit. Mobilexxonchevronarcoshelletc are making record profits and Halliburton (via Dick Cheney) is raking in billions via illegal no-bid contracts in Iraq. Meanwhile, the rest of us are paying through the nose for gas.
Write your Congressmen and ask them why -- why aren't we paying a nickel a gallon for gas? Or, at the very least, why are we paying close to three bucks a gallon? Where's our government subsidy? Where is our outrage?
Where are the Articles of Impeachment that will bring these fuckers down? I won't rest until W et all are hanging from lamposts in DC, having been tried for and found guilty of the treason they have commited against us all since day one.
Five cents a gallon. My god, that's the kind of thing that makes my liberal heart beat in right-wing, isolationist ways. Anyway, how many gallons does a camel need, anyway? None.
