you know syl, I have worked in the oilfield and there are LOTS of hardworking people that provide for their families with honest effort and have no control over the price of oil.
I have shaken the hand of countless friends that are missing fingers, thumbs and other body parts and still work everyday with no whining or bitching or moaning. There was not any HELP or crying from the Northern'ers when the price was $10.00 a barrel and unemployment was terrible here, lots of people lost businesses, people couldnt feed their families and yet YOU all enjoyed the fruits of those hard times down here and when the worm turns and you experience what WE have in the past and you dare to hope we SUFFER hard times again shows what a shallow insensitive BITTER ass person you are.
How much do we have to pay for OUR cars down here to support all the UAW workers with their high paying jobs and benefits guaranteed? Just as much as everyone else and for you to somehow mingle the hard working honest Americans down here with the Middle East countries is beneath contempt. We have no control over the price of oil, sometimes we benefit and sometimes we get bit in the ass, but we go to work everyday and do a job that I am willing to bet you wouldnt last 5 days in, and help provide the majority of the country with part of a product that heats, cooks, moves cars and helps industry produce those SOLAR PANELS that provide your electricty.
SO, carry on my friend and slame the OIL INDUSTRY all you wish and just remember, we will provide a product that you in some way or another use everyday and will take that money feed our kids, send them to school and we do appreciate the business...
NO, I am not from down unda, just down in the lower part of the country and everyone North of the Red River is a Yankee and that be YOU......
