Americans are addicted to Oil
President Bush said in one of the State of the Union speeches that we're addicted to oil. We must be realistic in this conversation and be truthful. When was the last time Bush stopped at the pump and pumped his own gas. More important, when was the last time he paid for the gas with his own money. He is always easy to blame the working American for the greed of politicians and capitalists.
4 weeks ago we met a young American who has a job that pays her $8.50 / hr. She said she had an old sardine can for a car and was sick and tired of putting money into it, so she decided to buy an anchovi can (which is smaller). She said she was paying $450 a year for insurance. When she bought the smaller car, the insurance company said they would charge her $1600 for that can. She was pissed off because she doesn't have any violations on he license, so why charge so much for insurance. The car only cost $12,000. The insurance company replied that these are the standard rates for small cars. She also said that she was able to fill up the car for $26 and now it costs $39. Between the car payment, insurance payment, and gas costs, she works only to get back and forth from work. To survive, she said she needs to sell her ass. So when Bush says we're addicted to oil she is insulted. Look at those rich bitches. They all drive big cars. Look at the oil company executives. I don't see them driving any sardine can to save fuel.
The Republicans and Democrats have both failed to protect their own country. When toilet paper is worth more than our money we take this very serious. The American people are tired of the same song and dance: Bush Clinton, Clinton Bush, Bush Clinton.
