Gas Tax Moratorium?

Senator Clinton is playing the masses. She says that she is introducing a bill that will eliminated the gas tax for the summer and then tax the profits of the oil companies. She also says that the bill will keep the companies from raising prices so they cannot recoup the cost of the tax.

Is she for real? Does she honestly believe that she can use government to control the cost of corporations? In my opinion, our country will be on the fast track towards socialism, if this is allowed to happen.

As far as I understand business, I do not know any business that will allow its profits to suffer without trying to recouped the loses. Maybe basic economics is not required for government officials.

How about a more bold approach to the overall problem? Here is some advice, "Stop putting band-aids on everything, and fix the big problem." Our elected politicians are power hungry and know that if they give up any control of taxes they lose that power.

The Bible says this about power:

Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over poor people. 16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.Prov 28:15-16 (NKJV)

The Democratic Party as it is represented today wants to call a person like me intolerable. Yet they are the ones preaching intolerance when they decide to force their worldview on me. They are so blinded by their ideals (as honorable as they may believe them to be) that they are ready to crush anyone who may hold views different than them, in the name of "tolerance".

I want to see people helped out, but not at the expense of my freedoms. I saw Ben Stein's film, Expelled, the other day. The Darwinist scientists literally admitted that they hoped that through their "research" that they can eradicate religion from our society.

I did not say it. I am not putting words in their mouths, nor am I misquoting them. Higher academia wants to quell anything that disagrees, and this is the same attitude that prevails throughout the majority of the Democratic party and its leaders and its political candidates.

The longer our federal government controls the strings of our tax system the more time they have to convince people that freedom does not matter. The quickest way to get rid of freedom is to get rid of religious views.

Why religious views? Because they believe religion is evil. They also know that religion enhances creative thinking (but you will not hear them admit this). Creative thinkers create problems for those looking for people they can manipulate. Darwinists literally believe that man does not have "free will"! Christianity, however, embraces the fact that all men have free will, and this is why sin exists in our world today. More on this later.

I hope a few more people will look a lot closer at the FairTax. It may be the best way to re-embrace freedom in this country that will allow us to act freely in the betterment of our society.

I believe in a greater America. I believe we can work better to improve our environment, help those in need, and insure those who need insurance. We can work with the government to bring about a healthy change, but we have to get rid of the farce that there is a Constitutional "separation of church and state".

Before I rant anymore, let me end by saying that we live in a great country, and we live here for a purpose. We have a chance to fulfill God's plan for bringing His truth to the world and help end poverty among other things but we cannot do this as long as the government is held hostage by those who misquote the Constitution.
