Subject: Re: "You just dont get it do you?"

Czuch: My point is that giving money to the big oil companies doesn't help the poor or the economy in general, it hurts it. It's a smoke screen. It's sheer robbery by those who don't NEED it.

Yes, stopping ALL handouts (Ron Paul's answer) would be far better than the system in place now, because it would even the playing field. A lot of these big boys would go under. A lot of folks who are poor now would rise. You say you believe in competition. Be consistent then!

But with the system we have now, it would be more effective, not to mention more ethical, to give the money to the people who NEED it, and thereby stimulate the economy from below.
