The Usurper: Sure, no hand outs to anyone then? Fine with me.. my point is that you say you want to help the poor and you say you want to stop handouts to the big evil oil companies, yet doing one hurts the other

Or... you want to stop the hand outs to oil, make gas prices rise, and then give money to the poor to buy the gas????

What then for me in the middle class? (well really, I am not even in the middle class according to most liberals) I dont get a hand out and I am now paying huge gas prices, that makes me poorer, until i am poor enough to get money for gas too, and soon enough you have more people getting money than there are people to take it from... then what???? How has that helped the economy then? Once you have cut the big boy down to size, and given enough money away to make everyone middle class (thats the goal right?) then what? how do you sustain a system with everyone in a middle class?
