I might also wish for a free and competitive market, rather than an
oligarchy.
While I think it already is a free and competitive market, what changes
would you propose?- Hide quoted text -

Quite governmenet subsidies and tax breaks for big oil. We as
taxpayers are getting shafted twice because of just that.

What part of my retirement assets have anything to do with my
government using my money to subsidise and give tax breaks to big oil?
Except for the fact that BushCo is borrowing like drunken whores from
China?

Your retirement money is dependent upon buisness in general and that
means "big oil" too. Unlike Harry who invests in dirt and has non liquid
assets the rest of us are invested in public and private corporations.
You won't get any interest by stuffing your money in a mattress.

When "big oil" finds another oil field with hundreds of billions of
barrels of oil you will thank the government for encouraging "big oil"
to search for oil.
