Sounds like Communism……

Now, I have been pissing a fit over oil companies making BILLIONS in profit while the average family is getting raped at the pump and nothing is being done about it. However, what I’ve not advocated is anything like this:
SEN. KENNEDY: The president, the president should have called the head of the oil companies into the White House and started jawboning. He should have done that a week ago. Why he doesn€™t do that, I do not understand. He ought to be pointing out that hard-working Americans, middle-class people, who have their sons and daughters in Iraq and in Afghanistan, that this is not a time for greed. And he ought to activate and call the Federal Trade Commission€which is basically a sleepy organization that has given an interim report in terms of price-fixing and gouging€he ought to get them off and have them working seven days a week, 24/7, to make sure that we know exactly who is price-gouging. And third, we ought to have a bipartisan effort to recapture, recapture these excessive profits that are going to the oil industry and return them to working families and middle-income families.
Taking money from the rich and giving it to everyone else? Sounds a lot like Communism to me.
And to think, I just wanted to send them all to jail for a long time.
( Just a note to those ready to wig out, follow the Communism link before commenting. OK? )
