The price for gas in Germany is already 6.50$
Yes but that's a different country than the US. If we're going to compare that price to the US price, what's the value of the US dollar compared to the Euro and how is Germany's economy compared to the US?
For example - in Canada, things cost more dollar per dollar vs the US. But if I'm not mistaken, they have a better tax infrastructure and a better economy when compared to the US.
For the working poor, gas prices nearing $3.00 a gallon in the US is already a hard enough hit to the wallet. The Federal Minimum wage is not even considered a fair or a livable wage here.
