RECORD GAS PROFITS
August 31,2005
With gas prices expected to exceed $3 per gallon, many families have to forego food just to get to work. I personally know of a local 22-year business that is closing due to the gas prices. While we get screwed, look at the RECORD PROFITS gas companies are making. This should be CRIMINAL and the government should step in to illegalize such rip off‘s. ONCE AGAIN, WE GET SCREWED AT THE EXPENSE OF BIG BUSINESS.
