dude, what the fuck, gas is a necessity, so youre going to pay for it either way. if you cant afford to pay $2.40 per gallon, that you prolly can afford to pay $1.50 a gallon to drive a car. if you dont want to pay for gas, take the bus or ride a bike. it is their oil, they can charge whatever the fuck they want for it. also, a good portion of the price is tax.

"MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES SAY “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”

bullshit, we arent the only ones who pay for gas and its our fault we are so dependent on others for oil.

We're you just paying attention? Say a bunch of retards decide to boycott gas. Gas prices would increase because of lost sales. This increase in gas prices would increase the price of products that cannot participate in this strike do to them needed to be transport. So all american made goods prices would increase. Foreign trade would look like a good alternative because most foreign countries understand the importance of oil and gas. They will sell the shit for cheaper to us. All goods in America would become infinitely expensive, driving out exports. America would collapse if we all the sudden stop buying gas.

Sit.
