I am sick and tired of the way prices for things go up like a rocket.We got some coupons fro KFC the other day and I was looking at them and I was shocked to see how much there prices went up.I mean it used to be cheap to grab something to eat from there but nower days you need to take a freaking bank loan to eat there.On the coupans are ones for a ten piece meal now a couple months ago it was a little over 13 bucks for a ten peiece meal and now its freaking 20.00 dollars.Its a fucking money grab they now peeple who like KFC will pay what ever the heck they decide to charge.

Another example or being gouged is intrest rates on things like bank loans,morgages and credit cards.There out of control and thats the way the banks and credit card companies like no rules governing then so they rip people at will.I am expecting a credit card company to annopunce one day they are rasising intrest rates to like 75% or higher.The governments need to stand up and bring in tough and I mean tough regulations like capping intrest rates on credit cards at say 5 and half percent and making it retroactive for say five years.meaning the banks and credit card compainies would be forced to pay back some of the money they have taken over the years.

What really pisses me off is when a company announces we are building a new more modren building for what the cost then turn around and get defensive when peoepl complain they raised prices for there products.

Or they make a big deal about making record profits and then when there asked does this mean prices will go down now?Then we get the oh no response we have other expnses to pay with this money.Well mr mister big business here's a little leson for you when your talking about profits thats what is made after the damn bills are paid.Have the ballls to be honest and say hey where just greedy pricks and we want your money for ourselves.

Yeah they are and what they don't seem to reconize is that sooner or latter consumers are going to say enough and then all hell is going break out.There business are going to get robbed but instead of money being taken its going to be things like food,cloths etc.I fully expect to read in the paper some day a fast food resturant was robbed and all that was taken was food.

Things like that have already happened, not sure about a fast food resturant, but people have been robbed of groceries before

That would be amazing, I wonder if the companies would dare prosecute? Sounds like a lose lose situation for them. If they do, they look evil, if they don't, it keeps happening.

You have to admit it would be entertaining to see thoe big companies reactions if they had to make that decesion?
