First Taxes in Europe are between 40-60%, second in the UK they earn way more that the USA in salaries
This is only the tip of the iceberg, you think gas prices are bad ? The next big rise is food. Because all these wankers are farming crops to turn into eco fuels we ( USA ) have a serious food shortage, transport costs have gone through the roof and the cost is being added to our food prices.
I own a number of restaurants and coffee shops so I see this before most people. Here's a few examples: Strawberries which normally cost $7.00 wholesale for a tray now costs $28.00 ( in season prices ). Milk has doubled in the last 6 months and looks like it's going up again this week. Rice is being rationed. Canola cooking oils ( no Trans Fats ) was $24.00 for 5 gallons, 6 months ago, its now $38.00 and climbing fast.
Most restaurants are holding back passing this on to customers so it's not too apparent yet. But soon you will see huge food cost rises passed on to you in restaurants and supermarkets like Vons, Ralfs, Albersons ???? Oh and delivery prices for most products including food has also hit all time highs so surcharges are being added to my food delivery costs which also get added to the menu prices eventually !!!!!
Fuck you very much Bush
