: : : Who's predicting $3 gas? Why in May? Why $3?
: : : This is just more "the sky is falling" horseshit. Gas SHOULD be $3. It hasn't raised in price much at all in the past 30 years when compared to inflation. How far can a car go on a gallon of gas? The average car, probably about 18 miles. Would you walk to Freeport for $3?
: : : I'm so sick and tired of people whining about how much gas is. People will stand in line at Sheetz complaining about paying $2.50 for a gallon of gas while holding a 16 oz bottle of pop they're paying $1.89 for. Or they'll argue the point while drinking bottle after bottle of beer at $2 a crack.
: : Amen.
: : Guess what? You should pay taxes on your property. The roads to take you to and from it are not free and neither are the schools. All of which your taxe money goes towards funding. And if you didn't pay taxes you would find something else to bitch about. How about this as a solution; stop buying cigarettes and lottery tickets. Losers.
: Yo! We get so sick of assholes like you ! Do you realize how much taxes would go up if all us puffers stopped buying cigs?We pay a hell of a lot more taxes than your sorry ass pays a year.And the ticket sales, helps a lot of older people..So I got four words for you,,,,,,Think before you post or"Shut the #@&@ up" Now you have a nice day,,ya here!
So let me get this straight. You complain about paying taxes then brag about how much you pay in cigarette tax. Furthermore, the amount taxes would go up if everyone stopped smoking would be a far cry from how much health insurance would go down for EVERYONE. You bitch and moan about how much you have to pay. What about what I have to pay because people like you can't stop smoking and/or are overweight? Now put down the Sheetz coffee and the cigarette and tell us again how everything sucks.
