Quit bitching about high gas prices. I hate people that cry and complain about it and how they have to get three jobs to pay for gas, its actually quite funny looking at these people who cant afford it. Nobody cares about your problem especially politians. The gas isnt going up it just that our American Dollar is worth nothing its crap. For all you people who are gonna give me negative reviews I can afford gas I own 2 SUV's and a car. I can afford gas whats you excuse?

SPREAD THIS WORD!!! everyone just commit to TAKING A DAY OFF FROM WORK A WEEK on a designated near-future STARTING date. if everyone, everywhere, in every state, across the united states just vowed to stay home from work one day a week, gas prices would immediately DROP. and they can not replace all those people in a quick enough time to continue losing money in corporations nationwide. so claiming it cant be done because all would be fired is ridiculous.
