This morning I plan to be mercifully short. Everyone knows my political/economical ideology. However, everyone should note Hillary Clinton's plan to confiscate oil company profits and create a bureaucracy to study alternative fuels. What makes an economy hum like a well oiled machine is profits. When people are not allowed to keep the product of their labor they do not work. This was the experience that we had in this country in Jamestown and Plymouth.
Ask yourself if you go to work if you did not get paid. Ask yourself if you would go to work if your paycheck was going to be given to someone else. Ask yourself if you'd go to work if you were going to get a paycheck whether you worked or not.
Answering these questions honestly demonstrates with a very simple model why communism/socialism/Marxism does not work. The number of consumers increases and the number of producers decreases. You do not have to be a rocket scientist or an economist to understand this. It is not a good idea to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
I could ramble on but I said I wanted to be brief so I will stop. Have a nice day everybody and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
