It's official...Poor people are responsible for rising gas prices

This morning, I had some important documents to drop off at the office of Vice-president Dick Cheney. Along with the VP's Halliburton bonus check, I delivered a white paper from the Treasury Department, which states categorically who is responsible for the rising gas prices in America.

It turns out poor folk are the reason it costs you $60 to fill up the tank of your Navigator. Here's the official administration explanation.

Poor folk shop at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart is the largest corporation in America — in fact, in the world. Its revenues make up 2 percent of America's GDP (whatever that is).

Wal-Mart has 6,000 suppliers. Of those suppliers, 5,000 or 80% can be found in one country. CHINA!

Recently, China has become the world's second largest consumer of energy and third largest importer of oil. It is the competition for oil that's driving up the prices on our God-given right to cheap gas.

Why would a backward Third World communist country need all that energy for?

Because it's busy making stuff for Wal-Mart.

So, if poor folk would start shopping at Nordstrom and Saks, energy prices would finally turn around and start dropping. But you can bet, those Democrat-voting, poor folks are too darn selfish to think about what's best for America.
