Are you kidding me!!! If there is no strike then there will be nothing done.. You can get as mad as you want but when you dont have any food to eat the government will finally have to help. They wont have a choice but to do something about the fuel prices. If not lower them they can give a tax break or a surcharge to help pay for the fuel... I say strike away... I for one will park my truck. Every time I fuel up I put on an average of 200 gallons my truck holds 300 gallons even at $3.00 dollars a gallon that a kick in the butt...
STRIKE AWAY...
