What's Your Line in the Sand? The $25 Burger?

"What's your line in the sand, the point at which you simply refuse to pay the asking price? Is it the $25 burger? Or is it the $50 for two burritos and two beverages?
...
For others, it might be the outrageous estimate for repairing a system failure in a nearly-new vehicle that is (surprise!) no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Hundreds of dollars for what?
Is it being stripmined to buy a hot dog and beer at a sporting event, or the "service charge" to buy a grossly overpriced ticket to a concert?
Or is it having to take out a second mortgage to cover the entrance fees to an amusement park?
Maybe it's the shockingly high cost of what used to be dirt-cheap--a camping permit in a state or national park. (When camping becomes an expensive outing, the Revolutionary Clock is getting close to midnight.)
Could it be the absurdly inflated cost of cable TV service, or the total cost of all those subscriptions for marginal content/entertainment spew?"
---------------------------------------------------
I've refused to buy lots of times due to 100% price increases in the past year.
It's long past time to take government matters into our own hands, since we are the ones who are supposed to be the owners of America.
