Gas is up to $4 a gallon..again for no other reason but greed.
The administration is purposely trying to destroy the middle class...
...to create a society where the rich simply just dictate the poor.
The poor will have no choice but to take these low paying jobs...like how it is now in other countries.
Rich vs. poor. Dictatorship. Child labor.
You can't seriously think this is normal?
Okay...
When are we going to stop sitting on our f'n *** and do something? Damn! What!? What?! What!!! Do you need an actual list of what companies not to support? And I don't give a **** if you are worried about losing a job. This is much bigger than YOU.
What are we going to f'n do! ?

If you aren't rich now, chances are you will NEVER see that money unless you are lucky off the lottery. Even that won't last long if you don't know how to invest. Now I know you want a good future for your kids, so...

The only thing we can do about it has nothing to do with ELECTIONS. Either get a really good education or get really good at shooting.

It is a terrible situation. I could never have imagined this and it is REALITY.
I'm in CA too and the middle class is gone. You are either very rich or you are working class or you are poor. OR, you don't have to work and everything is provided for you. It's miserable and completely wrong. While we make "decent" money, we can barely make ends meet--our money doesn't stretch far enough. I will never be able to buy a home here and I'm ready to get the hell out of Cali--but where to go?
I agree: ELECTIONS are key. I normally do not vote Democrat, but I sure as hell will NOT vote Republican this time. Republicans support the wealthy Americans, NOT the average person.

I was just thinking of all this yesterday. And was wondering where to start ? I live in california. The cost of living out here is outrageous. Sometimes even a household with two parents or two adults working cant make ends meet. SO YES WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?? I think that when elections come people need to really choose there candidates. As for the gasoline prices. Is there anywhere we can report those gas stations which prices are just ridiculous?. I thought there was suppose to be regulations. For establishments to be run.

I see what you're saying, but the "administration" does not set oil/gas prices. OPEC does that. OPEC is an international organization that regulates oil production and pricing.
Here's a link if you care to look into it more, and you should.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEC
I realize your concern over crazy gas prices, it hurts my wallet too. But, Bush and the administration are not the ones that regulate our prices on it. It's all about supply and demand, and that's how OPEC slowly forces us to either keep buying it, or buy an alternative fuel vehicle. And the more that we start buying hybrid type cars, the less oil will be sold, driving the prices up even more to compensate for that loss of profit.
Most of us get stuck in that middle ground where we can't afford to buy a new hybrid, or other alternative fuel car, but still have to keep buying gas to get to work, and go about our daily lives.

Imperialism and Capitalism. The two words that best define our adminitstration currently. What we are going to do is vote for a candidate in 2008 that can help us resolve the big issues, like global warming, the unnecessary war in Iraq, the war on the middle class, and universal health care. I'm with you on this totally. I feel like americans are living in a land of denial lately and not even realizing how greatly we are being taken advantage of. This used to be the greatest country in the world...no more, in my opinion.

We we do shop price a lot--forgetting quality.
Large motor vehicles are a favorite.
We like convenience things.
We forget the goverment employes work for us.
We forget Entitlements cost money.
Schools don't get the parent support they need.
A lot of our problems are of our own making.
Finally-I think every body has problems-not just Americans.

- I agree with what you said wholeheartedly; that is also why technical jobs are getting outsourced and education is going down the tubes
