If this is a free market economy
why am I enslaved by vehicle fuel, home utilities, medical costs, insurance, taxes..... I do not feel free.... I wish our government would put in place controls to ease the common persons` struggle to live.

barter is better
find a way to trade something....
for something else until
you trade for what you truly want
no money's involved so no taxes are either.
it's the only avenue left open.

Do these theives realize that they're running this country to the brink of economic collapse? Anothe 2 bucks a gallon will make many peoples jobs not worth the effort to get to. Which will trigger loan defaults from credit cards to mortgages. And making interest rates go through the roof again. Now you have a gozillion forclosures on property that no one can afford. Invest in bullets ,guys, it's gonna get mean, I'm afraid.

For half the price, you can get a gas powered shoebox that gets +/- 40 mpg highway.
Honda Fit, as per Consumer Reports:
"The Fit is a small four-door hatchback with impressive interior room and versatility. Cabin access is easy and visibility is good. The 1.5-liter engine is tuned for fuel economy. The ride is choppy, but supple enough. ABS and curtain air bags are standard."
MSRP, $13, 500 to $16,000
MPG, 33 city, 38 highway.
Toyota Yaris:
"The Yaris is available as a two-door hatchback or a four-door sedan. The 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is not especially powerful, but it is economical. Road noise is pronounced and the center-mounted gauges are annoying. First-year reliability is excellent, but the Yaris scored too low in our testing to be recommended."
MSRP, $11,000 to $13,500.
MPG, 34 city, 40 highway.
Nissan Versa:
"The Versa hatchback and sedan pack a relatively spacious interior in a short body. The engine is civilized but not overly powerful. The ride is comfortable and the rear seat is roomy. Handling isn't particularly nimble. Curtain air bags are standard, but the optional antilock brakes can be difficult to find."
MSRP, $12,500 to $14,500
MPG, 30 city, 36 highway |
