A LICENSE TO STEAL

The "BUSHCO" has given big business the green light to rip of the populace. the latest example is in the cost of fuel price increase for transport.
If a product was transported 3,000 miles by trailer truck the act. increase in price would be (max) $900 per load in fuel cost-probably closer to $600 since 2004!
if you only had a 10000 items(avg) groceries=20,000 items; but we'll use a 10000 the increase cost per item would be $o.09 per item.
the fact is most items are shipped by rail to a distribution point. usually within 300 miles or less of final destination point.
I live within a 100 miles of boston and two different food store chains increased their products up to $.10 last week. and this increase has varied week by week. but always an increase.
and wal-mart has increased the price of its brand of coffee by $1.00 in less than 6 months.
YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS I'LL VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT THIS ELECTION.
AND ON THE LOCAL LEVEL -NO TAX BREAKS FOR BUSINESSES!
