We have learned in school about this being a free market society. And with that comes competition. This is called Capitalism. With Capitalism, a person has the right to pursue their own interests and start a business in the chance to earn a living. Before this idea came about, you were bound to the position you held. The job you had, the business you were in, was dependent on who your family was. If your father was a blacksmith, then you were to be a blacksmith. It was a class system, that bound you to the class you were born into. With no chance of moving up.
So with capitalism, you had the chance to move out of the class you were born into and move up, if you had the brains, inventiveness, business skills to make it happen. This is one of the biggest reasons why this is the greatest nations in the world and in history. And if you had the business skill and made money hand over fists. Then that was your reward for your hard work. Many people have prospered in this system. Some of the ultra rich in this country are rich because of this. Only in America can the likes of John D Rockefeller, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, The Vanderbilts, JP Morgan, etc. come from their beginnings (some very modest) to become very rich and successful.
Well one thing that just frankly pisses me off is listening to the Democrats spew their vomitile Anti-Business rhetoric. If a person or a business makes money due to success, they are labelled as evil conglomerates that do nothing but steal from the customers and the public (this is only IF these Democrats are not part of the business or company, then it is ok). These politicians want to hold people back, and hold businesses back so that they (the politicians) will eventually be the only ones in charge).
Well it is no different for the campaign of the Obama-bin Socialist. He is wanting to put into efffect a set of rebates, if you want to call it that. He wants to spend $50 billion on a "stimulus package". Now he wants most of the money to go to state governments that are having a shortfall (this is stupid, since these are the same governments are spending like there is no tomorrow, even though they no that the money coming in from taxes is falling. Sounds to me like the states need toi cut spending), and to help repair roads (isn't that where part of our taxes are already supposed to go anyway). but he wants to send another round out to the citizens, $500 for individuals and $1000 for couples. This will be funded by the Oil companies.
Oh yes, the whole windfall tax system. This is where the Democrats will punish a market for making money. Now they use the whole propaganda that the big oil companies are gouging us, and that they need to be punished. This is so far from the truth. But the Democrats wants to get votes, not give truths. The truth is, Yes the Oil companies are making alot of money. Yes gas prices are high. But they are just making money off of a system that was setup for them. It was the government, due to regulations, that made it possible for the Oil market as a whole to be put on the speculation market. So anytime there is anything in the world that could be looked at as disrupting supply (thus potentially not having enough oil in the market to meet supply), then prices will go up. Are the oil companies to blame? NO. It is OPEC, Whack jobs like the leaders in Iran and Venezuela, Wars, Civil Unrest, Etc.
So, Mr Obama-don't -have-a -clue, start telling the truth in this matter. And do what needs to be done to make the prices go down. Just like the analysts said over the past two weeks in front of Congress (which you would have heard, had you actually attended like your job requires). You would know that if the market was taken off of the Speculative Market, Start Drilling more Domestic Oil, Build Refineries, then gas would come down to about $2 a gallon in about 1 month.
But waiting on a Politician to be part of the solution is as useless as buying gloves for a man with no arms.
Viva Liberty!
