lapdog:
it's not 'free market' they regulate and call it deregulation...
it's an inside blowjob for the corporate elite...
lay and bush were the closest of conspirators...
check out the docus at thesmokinggun and see how cozy...
that 'if people are willing to pay...' argument is bullshit...
big oil comes in; destroys the railroads, kills alternate fuel technology, which had been around for DECADES....
people HAVE to pay...or they can't shop, take their kids to the dox...
go to work, pay their bills, shop for food, etc...
usa imports 80% of it's oil from mexico and canada...
it's a shell game, (no pun intended, or yes pun intented)
there was no shortage of electricity when enron pulled the scam...
but they shut people off with great glee and pocketed the rest...
america is socialist.... IF you are born mega-rich like the unelected murderer...and can steal and kill with impunity...
corporate welfare and tax breaks, hidden and in open view, are immense...
welfare giveaways are fine if it's for a private refinery...
...killing the environment for more and more murderous greedmeisters...
venezulan chavez is bailing out people freezing to death in the NE...
nationalize or build new refineries for oil, cause alaskan and other oil (sold overseas by the way, some shortage!!) americans have already paid for all that oil...
but the refineries control the show and shit on the middle and poor...
that's why unelected oil murderers have totally destabilized the iraq...
saddam and osama were u.s. created and funded...
www.bartcop.com is an eye opener... so is consortiumnews
this for others; i suspect u r already convinced my friend...
and the rest of the world should know that in america here, they still haven't bothered to find all the bodies from katrina...we have the highest per capita adolescent suicide rate in the world...something very very sick going on here since the 2000 coup... the world knows... the whole world knows.
ruthless, blood curdling thieves and murderers...
taking money from the poor and giving to the rich...
the opposite of the Robin Hood thing the Stones' donated to...
a zillion hidden taxes the rich never have to worry about...
u continue the disinformation...
but as you can see... people know they are being had.

is pretty much transparent slop...
