The expression is "nickle and dime" not DOLLAR AND PAYCHECK!

 

Everyone is aware of the outrageous prices of gas-o-leen (gasoline) in this day and age. What most people HAVEN'T heard, though, is the fact that our government TRIED to do something about it! The Supreme Court ruled that since fuel companies had made so much PROFIT!!!... (Excuse me.)... Profit off the American people, that they could no longer get tax breaks. This was done with the intentions of lowering gas prices so that oil companies could go back to getting big fat tax breaks instead of breaking the American people. Instead, the greedy morons decieded to bring up gas prices even MORE. So high that, in some states, the truck stops and gas stations can't even break even because the machine at the pump was set to go no higher than $4.99, while to get the gas they're selling, THEY are paying more than $5.00 a gallon. There are only two ways of getting these ingrates off their high horses: the first one (which I highly discourage) is just blowing them all up... but then there are some pretty pricey prices to pay (if you catch my drift). The second, which I highly recomend, is you might as well walk.
