$2.79 per gallon

Today I paid $2.79 per gallon for gasoline. Here in central Ohio, on a beautiful day in April, $2.79 per gallon for unleaded gas is just obscene. While Exxon has profits of over $30+ billion dollars, working families are having difficulty filling up the tank. I guess nothing will be done to stop these oil companies from profiting from war and natural disasters. President Bush and the Republican Congress will do everything they can to keep oil/energy companies, pharmaceutical corporations, large financial institutions, and other businesses happy and wealthy so that Republicans can continue to enjoy contributions from their CEO's and directors.
