Would you support the nationalization of Exxon?

[Rebasxer]

If it would mean lower gas prices for everyone, would you support Exxon being taken over by the government?

 

[radioouman]

Yes. But not only for lower gas prices. We need stabilized energy prices across the board.

 

[mugs]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[flamingelephant]

[Baked]

[Taggart]

[toekramp]

[Powermoloch]

[gigapet]

a better idea would be to stop this oil supply and demand scam all together.

I like my freedom and giving up that freedom could spiral out of control pretty quickly if we let the govt start taking control of companies.

Someone proposed this today on a local radio show, just wanted to see how others felt.

If you think that The government can supply you with cheap gasoline you shoudl take a look at a few things that the governemnt already provides us.

School -> public funding is 2~3 times per student that of private schools.
Drug Recovery -> Spend 3~4 times per person and have an effect rate that is HALF or their private counter parts.

when the Red Cross shows up they are able to feed people in need for about 10% less then the government. Salvation army is about 1/3 the price

Look at public Health care.
Public Housing

And remember that The government would not hire government to run it they would contract out to HALIBURTON.

Take a look out the window... it reality. you should join us

It was really cool when the government split up Bell.
