Minions, please. Hush up about
gas prices.
Are you serious? Congress asking President Bush to investigate petroleum prices? Oil Bush?
Even a Good Person (ick) could see that's misguided. But I'm afraid you, Minions, are slipping into this madness too.
Listen up.
You want gas prices to stay high.Allow me to explain why.
Do you know the reason for toll roads, especially in states like New Jersey?
Population control.See, New Jersey is the
most densely populated state in the United States. And the Turnpike and Parkway are set up as toll roads not as a revenue source, but in order to separate the wheat from the chaff of the populace.
It's economic discrimination. Poor people cannot ride on toll roads in their hoopdy cars, by and large. Ever notice how it's mostly nice cars on the Turnpike? Thus, there's a fairly quick way for the wealthier people to get back and forth to work.
This is a good thing.You don't want the economically disadvantaged masses to get around and mess things up. Stay in your ghettos, unhappy poor people (UPPs for short).
Not a new idea. Happened to Jews in Poland and Germany under similar types of administrations. And it was a good thing then too, right?
OK, so, we have the UPPs staying in their ghettos, but the road is still crowded.
What now?Well, there's always the next-to-poor people. Yeah, the middle class. OK. Let's make them poor too.
If we raise the price of gas, they can't get around either. And by doing this one simple thing, we also raise the prices of everything else, creating a whole new class of poor people, to clear up our roads and deepen the divide between the wealthy and the impoverished.
Meanwhile the oil companies still make a killing.
This is patriotic. This country was founded on the exploitation of the disadvantaged, from the Native Americans, through Black slaves, through Chinese railroad workers and now Mexican migrant workers — it's an American tradition.

It happens all over, even in the corporate and civil service sectors. Ever notice that the people who make the most money are your top level administrators and executives, who have to make the "tough decisions" like cutting budgets, firing people, providing fewer services to the sick, needy and helpless? Providing more "accountability" for school children and less education and extracurricular programs? And how these financial rewards go up and up for those who swing the axe?
America rewards harm. So celebrate!And know that if you're paying more at the pump, or ultimately for bread and milk, you're just being a good patriot.
