...this one really ranks up there!
Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a "Reasonable Profits Board" to control gas profits.
The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a "windfall profit tax" as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.
The Gas Price Spike Act, H.R. 3784, would apply a windfall tax on the sale of oil and gas that ranges from 50 percent to 100 percent on all surplus earnings exceeding "a reasonable profit." It would set up a Reasonable Profits Board made up of three presidential nominees that will serve three-year terms. Unlike other bills setting up advisory boards, the Reasonable Profits Board would not be made up of any nominees from Congress.http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/205085-dems-propose-reasonable-profits-board-to-regulate-oil-company-profits (http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/205085-dems-propose-reasonable-profits-board-to-regulate-oil-company-profits)
This ranks up there with ObamaCare as one of the most eggregious, unconstitutional, retarded, insane and un-American ideas ever to be introduced in the history of the world!!!
The FEDERAL GOVERMENT makes more off the sale of gas than the oil companies you gawddamned commie piles of evil filth!!!
This perversion is more than a camels nose, it would make it simple for commie dem's to go after one industry after another. This sh*t is right out of Atlas Shrugged! Screw this stacked board, screw this idea, screw the people coming up with this crap! Better yet, till we start stacking these traitors of American liberty up like cord wood they will never stop!!!

I'm guessing a reasonable intelligence act is out of the question......
The left is emboldened.

All legislators should have to pass the civics test simlar to the one given to naturalized citizens. This would eliminate about 9/10 of the entire Congress. The test should be retaken every two years. Since Senators have a six year term, the minimal passing grade should be 97% while House of Reps should be 95%. Presidents should also be give a simlar test as should federal judges. Both must have a passing grade of 95 plus %. Then we'll see just how smart these assholes really are when it comes to law and government. Sheila Jackson Lee among others wouldn't make it past writing her/his name.

Aside from the arrogant, thieving, unConstitutionality of it, that's the fact that renders this proposal so egregious and so typical of the Left.
If the "huge" oil company profits are "unfair", what could possibly be the rationale for considering the government's "share" as just, other than the Left's premise that all the profits, all the money, belongs to government in the first place. The Looters aren't even trying to hide their adherence to this ideology any longer; they have become newly emboldened. Amazingly, however, they still bristle at the proper appellation of Fascisti applied to them.

Looters, yes, they are, and fascists, in the classic sense (they use the FORCE of government to be the GUN TO THE HEAD in their EXTORTION schemes)...both looters and fascists end up getting SHOT by their victims, it's just a question of when, not if!!!

Kucinich is merely the Leftist bold enough to propose such a thing. At their heart, they all wish they could put a ceiling on profit, and redistribute the overage to their constituencies in exchange for power. Every last f**king one of them.
