The other day I suggested nationalizing the oil companies and a right wing fool actually suggested using the 2nd amendment if we tried. The right to bare arms? Really? Middle class conservatives love the oil companies so much they would kill to defend them so they can continue to gouge us?
Gouge us? Really? All those independent components that produce oil today have all gotten together to gouge us?
Who would then be the oil producers once you stopped this (so-called) gouging (a.k.a. making a profit) by all these independent sources producing today? Who would want to be a nationalized oil producer, strip of what are already low profit percent/margins compared to other industries? Who would invest in that? The government would have to become the investors, producers, drillers, refiners, etc. Might have to draft employees and eliminate unions or they might gouge too.
Nationalized education, nationalized retirement, nationalized health care, nationalized oil, nationalized what next? Nationalize the family farms? Oh yummy, I can think of nothing more tasty than nationalized food. Hey, how about nationalized sex, I'm ugly, can I sleep with your pretty wife, life is not fair if I can't.
OMG, LOL, where will it stop? Oh, woe are we, dear leader, nationalized our lives, our sperm, our eggs, because life is not fair for the lazy and inept and gawd especially those not packaged in a preferable color and/or don't have mature bwains.
Gawd, what is it with you meddlers out there? Don't turn your lives and the planet over to a ruling military reenforced authority, are you people insane? Fuck, LOL, some of you scare me more than invading space aliens would. What planet are some of you from?
Oil speculators have nothing to do with drilling for, producing, refining or distributing oil, yet they are costing you an extra $12-$20 everytime you fill up. Keep defending it you stooge.
I'm done explaining to you jackasses that government sets the rules of business. If corporations are taking advantage of us, then it is governments job to stop them. Because they work for we the people, not the oil companies, insurance companies or Wallstreet. Not if we have anything to say about it. I know you disagree, but who cares because you are going to lose in November. But in America, even stupid people have a voice so please reply.
