Ping.
I swear they must be using Atlas Shrugged as a guidebook.............
I was thinking of starting a board called “The Reasonable and Prudent White House Expenditure Board” to regulate the expenses for White House party’s, vacations, plane travel, staff, and renovations.
Yep, that sounds about right.
Hey comrades, that sounds good.
No kidding....How AMERICAN’s aren’t OUTRAGED and in the streets calling for Dems to be Ousted in mass is beyond me. I wonder who they would pick to head the Committee? Someone from the Occupy movement?? OBAMA MUST BE DEFEATED in NOVEMBER!
Wow, wasn’t the excess profits tax, a Jimmy Carter invention?
I just saw this headline in the sidebar. My first reaction was “of course.” If anyone wants proof that the democrats are communists, this is it. The problem is, most of our economically and politically ignorant electorate will think its a good idea.
beat me to it...last i recall the fed tax, not counting all other leeching entities, is nearly double the profits that the companies get to keep...???
theres a reason pols used to be tarred, feathered and used as lampost decor...
How about a Congressional Responsibility Board which would enforce a statute that Congressional salaries are zeroed out in any year in which the Federal Government spends more than it takes in.
Do you remember seeing that tape of Maxine Waters saying that “We are going to take over the oil companies, we are going to socialize the oil companies” Well, this is as close as they can come right now, take over the profits of the oil companies.
Holy sh!t I hate these effin douchenozzles. Regulate oil company profits? These companies (and their shareholders) take all the risk, do all the work, fight the gubermint interference and tree-hugging douches along the way, and MAYBE eek out ten cents per gallon profit for providing an essential product. Then, AFTER THROWING UP ONE ROADBLOCK AFTER ANOTHER between the company and its dime, these hypocrites STEAL anywhere from what, 30-60 cents per gallon depending on which state you're in?
Why don't they tell WE THE PEOPLE the truth for a change. Gubermint the greedy thief here...lining its pockets for doing NOTHING. That they have the brass balls to villianize the oil companies over gas prices is unforgiveable. /rant off
How are they going to “control price”? No one can do that.
They’ll probably get their way. This is Obamaland after all.
Now go pay your taxes - your government is broke. :)
I believe this is exactly what happened when "price controls" were put in effect on gasoline in HI, and of course, there's the classic example of NYC's "rent control."
Mark
Exactly what came to my mind!
“does not the govt collect more from the sale of a gallon of gas than the oil company makes in profit?”
Shhh....
You aren’t supposed to mention that!
You don’t want to be sent off for re-education, do you?
Speak carefully, comrade!
Somewhere between Atlas Shrugged and 1984.
another creep towards MARXISM by the MARXISTS in Washington.
I propose that the communist scum be run out of office !
