This Duck's solution to outlandish gas prices

Hi Friends,

I see what has been happening with the gas prices. Big Oil is rakin' it in and it is at the expense of the little guy, the working stiff, the American duck. I am suffering with the rest of you, I have cut back on everything from produce to trips to the movies so my people can afford gas. I know how it is, it HURTS. I also know it is wrong. I read the papers, I see that the oil companies are making their BIGGEST PROFITS EVER. Duh, no surprise there. The Fat Cats* in Texas are getting fatter off of their texas tea.

I have a solution and it is going to take a lot of help to put it into action. I know we can do it, we are a strong group and have been through worse torments than this.

This is what I propose -- every driver in America gets a certain amount of gallons a week. That gas is purchased at a price that is fair -- say $2.00 a gallon. (I don't know about you but if I drove that would be a bargain!) Now I am just spitballin' here but let's say 15 gallons a week at the fair price for the sake of argument. Don't get me wrong, you can have as much gas as you want BUT after you have reached your 15 gallon limit then you have to pay market rates which will be GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW HIGH.

It's up to you! You can drive as much as you do now and pay dearly for the privilege or you can curtail your driving and save a lot of money!

What do you think?! Think it will fly?! This duck does!

*I mean no offense to kitties of the world, "Fat Cats" is an expression used in disgust at people who make money at the expense of others.
