Bad Senator
As far as I'm concerned the price of gas is too low
I offer you Senator a bill that will not only increase oil profits
For the oil companies
But also tack on a pay raise for ourselves
I don't know about you
But I do know what the American people who are struggling to stay warm
In the winter and fill their vehicles mean to me
What they mean to me and what they mean to you
Are a bunch of suckers to use and abuse
I don't care about them at all
What I do care about is my own wealth
And doing right isn't going to do that
Keeping the price of gas low isn't gonna put that shiny red porche
In my garage or a 50 inch plasma TV hanging on my wall
So by passing this bill to raise the price of gas from 3.30 to 4 bucks
By May and make these increases retroactive each and every year
At a rate of 18.5 percent each year
So you see fellow Senators in just 10 years we will all be very
Rich men and the poor will get poorer which is exactly what we do best
Thank you for your time

That you should be so lucky - in England we are paying £6.15 a gallon already - which in dollars is approx $9.70. 4 bucks a gallon? I f only...
If we had to pay 9.70 a gallon here then it would be 116.40 to fill my tank instead of 40.32 that it takes right now. Just going to the hockey game last night would have been 20 bucks, ouch!
