What would you ask Big Oil? |
How do you like the Mansion ?
Making the money off of us Americans are Oil tycoons. They are banking on the helpless and poor. The oil tycoon understand that the price is raising and they turn around and make you pay the difference. They sit comfortably in there mansions sipping wines and making trillions . They make more money then most of us will ever see in our life time.
I have heard of people taking loans out for gas and pawning there prize processions. It is unfortunate that we the middle class and poor have to give up to survive. People are coming up with ways to not have to use their cars so they can eat or going to food banks because they no longer can afford the food to feed their families.
We are in a crisis of epic proportion! We no longer live where we can walk to our jobs nor do we have a horse and buggy. We relied so much on technology that the average human is suffering.
It is a sad day when you wake up to the saturday morning infomercial for the feed the children and they are in Texas. I am sure though the oil tycoons food is abundant and the best quality along with their Ralph lauren suit .
I think though this gas crisis has been a great lesson . One I am sure that will be soon forgotten. We all only have eachother. IT takes a village to raise children that is what we have to do. Help your neighboor.If you do not know them maybe go introduce yourself. Just a simple acknowledgement may be all that is needed. Like Dr. Suess said a person is a person no matter how small.
Together though you can be heard. The oil tycoons need money to live so if we can find a way around buying so much gas. Like carpool, or if you have a boat park it or split gas prices with friends. If you live close enough to walk do it and see great health benifts from it. What ever it is we need to change our lives and enrich them not with money but kindness and then will we understand true prosperity.
So I say to you MR.Big Oil. You may enjoy that rondevu with Benjamin Franklin and Woodrow Wilson but us americans have had enough and will put a stop to it. You will be paying like us. Net time you drive and see the person on the corner asking for food think he might be there because of you!
