You know Nixon tried wage and price controls and we

why try what has already been proven to fail.



Wage and price controls are commonplace in Europe and the standard of
living did not drop, goods and services did not became hard to get, and
unemployment did not rise.


Please show that profits are obscene. Don't quote dollars,
quote percentage of operating expenses. (snip)



I'm not going to quote anything, Dee. I gave my personal opinion. While
you're certainly free to agree or disagree with that, there is no
requirement whatsoever to prove an opinion. If, on the other hand, you

think
my opinion is that important, you're certainly free to prove it's wrong.


That's true Dee. I gave him my opinion, *with* the reasons behind it...such
as an overwhelming public opinion that there are jobs our immigrant
population will do before the average American...and he chose to ignore
those facts also...
