McCain, The Economic Populist
John Stossel has written an excellent column that ends with the statement “It would be nice if McCain would finally learn some economics.”
Stossel points out several statements John McCain has made against oil companies who, gasp, make profits, and also speculators, the new “bad guy” on the block.
John McCain served his country in Vietnam, and he should be respected for his service. But this millionaire, who is only a millionaire because he married an heiress, has never served a day in the private sector. He has always been on the government payroll. No wonder he doesn’t know anything about economics. Government operates outside of profit. It just seems to have an endless supply of money to waste, waste, and waste.
And not unlike other taxpayer leeches just like him, he has the nerve to make ridiculous demagogic statements. He is a disgrace. He is like the GOP’s version of John Kerry.
I will do my best to hold my nose and vote for him, but the stink is getting really, really bad. Who knows if I can stand it?
One more thing about future’s speculators. Isn’t it convenient how the government, which is the real villain in this mess, switched from harping on the oil companies, to harping on the speculators? After noticing that the public wasn’t buying into the oil company demagoguery, the government lovers switched to the speculators. They never cease to amaze me. I bet, or should I say, I speculate, that out of the 535 “public servants” occupying Congress, that not even 50 of them could explain how the future’s market works.
Why vote for someone you dont want?
I think if McCain wins, conservatives lose.
Baracky, we lose.
McCain, we lose.
If we lose tomorrow (Heller vs. D.C.) then does November really matter?
It’s like this Mickey, if I don’t vote for him, I am pretty much voting to put a Marxist in the White House. McCain may be a populist idiot, like most traditional Democrats, but Obama is a Marxist.
