Is there no sensitivity for the affect of high gas prices on the poor?

[C......N......C]

I understand the argument for future generations, but what about the children of the poor now? Poor people are forced to make life choices when gas prices go up. The poor already give up all but the necessities, and then cut short on most of them. So when gas prices go up , it really hurts the poor. Why is their no sensitivity for this ?

1. Who's not sensitive besides the oil companies? nt

4. Well, I have read a lot of your post and am impressed by everything you say

so I concede. I do not want to be on the other side of anything that you write.

6. The gas tax holiday was a swindle, a pander, prices would have risen....

...to take up the difference in price at the pump, thus making more profit for them while taking money away from workers and project that depend on those funds.

Where were you when this was discussed in detail and thrown out as a bullshit pander?

:wtf:

5. The larger issue is not just the gas prices, it's everything.

Being 67 yrs. old or in my case, young, trust me when I say it wasn't as hard to be poor in the sixties as it is now, we were very poor then, but still could make the rent, have food and start a family, we couldn't do that now and it's just not the gas prices.

7. No, there's never any sensitivity

Because in america, compassion for the poor is the greatest of sins. And I for one have had enough. I'll "complain" and do whatever the hell I have to to survive in this country, since I'm not going to get any help.
