DEMOCRATS IN HOUSE VOTE TO RAISE TAXES ON PEOPLE THEY THINK ARE BAD GUYS, AND LOWERS THEM FOR PEOPLE THEY THINK ARE GOOD GUYS

NYTIMES:

Declaring a new direction in energy policy, the House on Saturday approved $16 billion in taxes on oil companies, while providing billions of dollars in tax breaks and incentives for renewable energy and conservation efforts.

Republican opponents said the legislation ignored the need to produce more domestic oil, natural gas and coal. One GOP lawmaker bemoaned ''the pure venom ... against the oil and gas industry.''

The House passed the tax provisions by a vote of 221-189. Earlier it had approved, 241-172, a companion energy package aimed at boosting energy efficiency and expanding use of biofuels, wind power and other renewable energy sources.

THE DEMS ARE AT IT AGAIN: RAISING TAXES ON FOLKS THEY THINK ARE THE BAD GUYS.

AND AVOIDING THE BASIC ACTION WHICH WILL HELP EVERYONE: MORE FREEDOM; GIVING COMPANIES IN THE ENERGY BUSINESS MORE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE AND EXPLOIT THE PROVE ENERGY ASSETS WE HAVE RIGHT HERE IN THE USA!

The Left is essentially an elitist bunch of control-freaks who feel they can pick winners and losers better than the marketplace.

This has been proven WRONG time after time after time after time.

Look at Zimbabwe, or Cuba, or North Korea, or Red China or the USSR: their economies under socialism under-performed their economies under freemarkets.

The freemarket doesn't just out-perform socialist markets on the profit-and-loss column; they also produce BETTER QUALITY goods and services.

And they also RESPOND BETTER TO POPULAR NEEDS - REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT NEED IS.

If free consumers want more solar power, then companies which satisfy that demand will be rewarded by the marketplace.

And this reward far out weighs anything the elitist Socialists can do ON THE POSITIVE SIDE.

All the command-control freaks of the Left do is distort the marketplace; all they are REALLY DOING is rewarding their favorites - their pets. These tax ploys are JUST AS BAD AS PORK PROJECTS.

That's why we need a flat tax or a fair tax.

And we why we need to get rid of as many SOCIALISTIC DEMOCRATS AS POSSIBLE!

WE MUSTN'T LET "BIG BROTHER" (GOVERNMENT) PICKS THE WINNERS AND THE LOSERS, THAT'S WHAT THE FREEMARKET IS FOR.
