the talk of gas and it's cost to the little man is sickinning. No one but those that are impacted can know just how much it hurts . For instant some one earning minmun wage that has a family,  see his cost of gas sky rocket to where he now has to cut in to his meager food money just to get work then his rent  is getting out of reach, and him  knowing that soon and very soon he will be on the street, after all his pay does not rise with the gas price, nor will his food and ulitily's go down , so where does that leaves him?? all we hear is talk, when will there be some relife?? and all the people out there that think that we all are asking for a hand out GET OVER IT !! THAT IS OUR TAX DOLLORS!!!!!, we watch it go to rebuild and feed other contries, well what about us???  China and the other countries get our jobs, and the companies sending it there is getting TAX BRAKES, HELLOOOO WHAT ABOUT AMERCIANS FIRST????!!!!! the big CEOOOOO get millions while we get ????  how much can they eat at once?? why not share with the hungry?? how many bead can they sleep in? can they take it with them?? we are not asking for much or what is not ours?? just to have the coverment to leave a few dollors in our pay check or our social security, to allow us to keep our home and find a way to help us to work throught it all. taking some one's home, boarding it up and leaving them on the street, who does it help?? NADA, no one, would it not be better to have them pay RENT and stay (Rent to own) so that in the future when things get better they can pick up where they left off??? why take EVERYTHING?? and MOST OF ALL TAXES!!! it is KILLING THE HOME OWNER'S!!! school tax in ORANGE COUNTY for a 2,200 squar ft. house is over $10,000. per year (yes school tax , and rising because when my uncle sam cut what the county gets who pick up the slack?? you and I) then there is the town tax, another $4,000. so total tax on a three bed room is over $14,000. per year and rising .It sound like a  JOHNEY CASH SONG "6feet and rising" Now add utillities,  insurance, mortgage to that, how can we servive?? we are beeing TAXED TO DEATH!!!! . add  the price of gas and rising food prices, Amercia is becoming the next Africa. Because  soon there will be a mass of starving people, and still the TOP FEW KEEP GETTING TAX BREAK AND SUBSIDIES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??????
