Nope no problem with govenment sticking their hands into private buisness! I sure do hope people will wake up and see what's happening around them.

I almost made a real ugly comment...then decided not to.

I prefer they keep their hand out of business and my pocket

I recall when GM was going under. I was working for a company that supplied them with the metals they used for engine blocks. We were working 12hr shifts and then all of the sudden my company OmniSource started laying people off and cutting hours. Along with most of the GM plants in NW Ohio and Detriot. They have a lot of balls asking for a tax hike after the Gov bailed them out.

actually, he said it should be an additional dollar per gallon tax.

Bad government is coaxing people to do what you want with their wallet . Its' inherently evil.

This country went from a "hands off" government to a more of a hands on government with Roosevelt. That continued, with the gov getting into the lives of the people more and more until Regan. He decided to cut many of the programs that were in place and let the States deal with their people. Unfortunately only lasted while he was in office. People want their free welfare, the gov. has decided that the rest of the world is more important than it's own people so are willing to spend money on them instead, etc, etc. Our gov is supposed to be "... by the people for the people..." When did the average American forget that? A government will get away with as much as the people are willing to let them get away with.
