Quote from amanda33:
Why do you hate it? There are people with much more experience than you showing how they cope with expensive fuel. Your attitude needs addressing if you want lower fuel bills. If my country suddenly got rid of socialist health care I would listen very, very closely to those who were used to paying for it (and enjoyed the lower taxes too).
I'm in the UK, we have expensive fuel, more taxes and no guns - FACT. You're in the US and you have cheaper stuff and more guns. Just a statement of truth. If we had guns would we have cheaper stuff? Of course not. Those issues can easily get mixed but the truth is we pay more for less stuff.
In the UK people generally bitch about council tax (paid each year, based on the value of the house you live in) which has increased way above inflation for about 10 years. There's plenty of impoverished old people living in large houses here, who pay enormous amounts for their council tax for houses that are falling in value. They've forgotten the value of their house can go down too. They have difficulty with the maintenance. It's a problem for them which will only get bigger. They're not paying attention to the market.
