What kind of drugs are you doing??? The purpose of a business is to MAKE a profit! The government is running its "business" at TRILLION dollar loses (Read: DEFICIT!) If the government ran a lemonade stand in my nieghborhood, they would pay 5 x the market price for lemons and sugar, subsidize the farmers who produced it, offer full benefits to the ILLEGALS working on the farms because of the subsistence wages they allow the agricultural conglomerates to pay. They would then sell it at less than market prices to everyone who "could not afford" to buy it because it is "their right" to have lemonade. At the end of the day, they would force everyone in the neighborhood to pay a tax to cover the losses the incurred and the useless studies that would waste MORE money to determine why they are losing money! Oh, and by the way, if you don't like lemonade - too bad, you have to pay anyway. And if you complain about any of it, you are branded "Un-Patriotic!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-83090696989469222102009-04-06T01:16:00.000-04:002009-04-06T01:16:00.000-04:00The government should take over all business.Gover...The government should take over all business.Government elected officials have proven they are better at running business than anyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-64322627618295753952009-04-04T15:49:00.000-04:002009-04-04T15:49:00.000-04:00Alcoa should take down those dams and restore the ...Alcoa should take down those dams and restore the river to the way it was. If God had wanted Stanly County to have lakes he would have made them. I might buy me a lot on the river in front of all those former lake houses. I'm sure the government will be more efficient than private industry at making power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-82472527891931044832009-04-02T12:10:00.000-04:002009-04-02T12:10:00.000-04:00Its not a takeover of a privately owned business s...Its not a takeover of a privately owned business so much as a landlord kicking out an undesirable tenant.
