No, they a Communists. They believe in State owned and run everything. That is Communism.
How about a “Reasonable Profits Board” to control bribe taking and sweetheart deals by congresscritters?
The central planners learned nothing in 2010.
I’d rather a “reasonable gov’t retirement board”.
Oops. I’d rather HAVE....
Oh, yeah. But what, after all, could be more American than “from each according to his ability to each according to his need”? I think Washington said that. No, it was Jefferson. Well, it’s in the Constitution somewhere, isn’t it?
28th Amendment.
Thanks for the ping!
Always good to know that my government is looking out for my best interests!
Would you please add me to your Atlas list also!!! Best book ever
written!! So hard to believe we are actually living it!!!
It’s like watching a movie.....
It’s a shame we know how it ends.........;^)
Exxon’s profits are always reported in the $Billions. Whatever they end up being...It always sounds so big and impressive! The reality is that their margin was something around 8%, which is much less than the left’s favorite company of Apple. Apple’s margin is in the range of 30%...
Hmm, who is the one “gouging” their customers?
If an 8% return is “unreasonable” then why do the unions expect more of that in their pension investment funds?
I received the Atlas Shrugged, Part I, DVD as a Christmas gift, but I haven’t had time to watch it yet. Meanwhile, this month, a local community college will be featuring a showing of it followed by a discussion with the producer. I’m thinking of attending... although it does seem ironic that this movie will be promoted at a government-subsidized institution of learning...
Slippery slope ping

Short of nationalizing, Democrats propose taxing the crap out of the companies to bring down fuel prices. Upon what planet do these idiots live?
