The 16oz. bottled water some people buy is about $1-$1.30 at the take out store. That makes that water $8-$10.40 a gallon. No one complains about that, & bottled water is always being sold. No bottled water companies have gone out of business that I know of.

And don’t get me started on the price of Starbucks, Seattle’s Best & all the other gourmet coffee shops that consumers are shelling out $5/per 12oz.

Where’s the leftest’s outrage over that?

How is this a valid comparison? I don't drink 25-30 gallons of Starbucks a week.

Our economy doesn't run on Starbuck's coffee. The average American doesn't need 15 gallons of Starbuck's coffee a week just to get to work and the grocery store.

(And, frankly, I don't remember the last time I bought a $5 Starbucks drink. When I go there, it's always a medium coffee with cream. $1.25.)
