Truth or not?

While you whine about
your profits, we, on the
short end of the paycheck
fuel your pockets of greed ...

Everyone bitches about corporate America (me too) but allow the federal government to rob the workers of America every single day with unreasonable tax laws . . . Hardly a peep is heard about that . . .

So true and so real, the sad part is most of the cost, at least up here in Canada is the taxes...over three quarters is tax and surcharges.

Well stated, and ain't it the truth. Looks like the owner of the station in the picture feels similar to you, but isn't much he can do about it.

Greed is an "enrichment short lived. We're on this earth a very short time and can't take it with us so making good karma is important. You and I and the little guy's will prosper later when we see these greed mongers with no paradise.

Ain't it the truth! I think those who are doing this ought to be charged with price gouging, put in jail!! Some of that money they are making ought to go to the poor!! Very timely write; well written!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

Bet THEY don't think of the poor people!! No, siree!!

And...whine about their profits, fueling their need for it -- it's a vicious cycle. Wish we didn't need it at all. Think I'll get me a horse and carriage and an extra-super-duper-capacity-pooper-scooper. --Charlie

I see alot of antique wagons coming out of the barns, refurbishing the gay days of wagon wheel transportation here in my Colorado area. It's the taxi system in Cripple Creek, Colorado where I gamble. The buckboards are loaded with pumpkins and the fall harvest here bringing back the hay rides...folks are slowly traveling back in time...the little mountain towns surrounding me here in the mountains have hitching posts in front of their establishments...good thing for the country taverns where the clientele drink only enough where they can still mount their horse and obey the one stop sign in town...
