My brother is 68 years old. I love him dearly. However, every time I go to his house, all he talks about is football AND price of gas, price of oil, the costs of medical care, bla bla bla. He complains of everyone making a profit. Complains about the oil companies. Complains about medical coverages, how they are costing him his retirement. Complains about everything that is of free market. He talks on and on and on about how GOVERNMENT has got to FIX it all. That GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO SOMETHING about high gas prices, high food prices, high oil prices, talking about smashing down the big oil companies. My dear brother is no socialist, HOWEVER, he has totally bought into the idea that is pounded into his head daily as he reads his newspaper and watches CNN!!!!!, that GOVERNMENT is the answer. Thus, he eats it up. I don't even bother trying to talk to him about it, I might as well be talking to a brick wall. He will not listen.
I told my husband last night that if HIllary wins, we sell the house, the condo, I quit my job and we go on welfare - might as well since she’ll take it from us anyway!
