I think this shows what the Democratic Party has in mind, and is using the pretext of "helping" the poor people as their reasons for the institution of Socialism in this country. Remember Hillary's National Health Care? What about her comments about TAKING Profits from the oil companies through increased taxes, in addition to increasing the taxes on everyone else and rolling back the Bush Tax Cuts.
The former Soviet Union, owned everything. They controlled the prices, they controlled the production. They controlled EVERYTHING. And look where it got them. Why can't certain politicians look in the history books and see what they are doing or not doing is wrong? Could it be the height of hubris to them to think that THEY could be any better at controlling everything, than the former masters of it?
Please look at this, and post in the comments what you think?

I think we are spoiled. While I disagree with the obvious usury at the pump,the fact remains that gas is still cheaper by FAR here than it is in many countries. We're spoiled with our gas guzzlers and the common misconception that we're entitled to everything when the fact is we're not entitled to anything at all. We still "got it good" here compared to a lot of places. But when people cannot use responsibility and concern for the greater good in their exercise of capitalism, the day will come when their privilege will be revoked. With freedom comes responsibility. Absent responsibility, freedom will wane and fall. It's inevitable. No privilege can be abused forever and remain intact.
I think people tend to be alarmists when they hear stuff like this coming out of the mouths of people who are not going to be able to deliver on what they think they want anyway. And if they do deliver on it...
...every empire's gotta fall sometime. Nothing on this earth lasts forever and we are mightily arrogant to think that we will meet a fate any different than that of Rome. The bigger we get, the harder we'll fall.
