“I see stupid people. They’ve everywhere”.

This is why Kamala will win. Too many stupid people vote.

โ€œInflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.โ€
Milton Friedman

As long as it “sounds” good to the ignorant lemmings, it won’t matter how illiterate it is.

#2 Truth of Life: If you vote for a politician to solve your problems the politicians will create problems to get your vote.

Cringe worthy. How can anyone defend price controls. Americans can now look forward to shedding all that excess weight on the Maduro Diet!

She’ll probably back down from this proposal. It’s been beat up so badly before the announcement they can’t possibly go through with it.

I remember the 1970s. I’m that old. They were blaming some unidentifiable “middle man” for the inflation. That “middle man” was somewhere between the manufacturer and the retailer.

Gouging is not good but because we do not have a moral populace anymore it will happen more and more. Capitalism is not the reason for gouging, it is the lack of morals.

I believe Capitalism, free-markets are a gift from God but we have to use our right reason to do what is right while being productive and industrious. Industry and initiative are great things but WE need to be careful and use God's Wisdom and teachings to keep it wholesome.

People need to stop blaming Capitalism/Free Markets for the immorality of men.

The real problem is it demonstrates undeniable facts that all the Trump haters display. 1) They have no real understanding about how an economy works. So things like a “Green new deal” and allowing manufacturing to move out seem ‘rational’. China, India, and Indonesia don’t care, and they continue to produce CO2 anyway, take all of the manufacturing, destroy our economy and future. They just say ‘Print more money’. 2) They don’t understand production, products, costs, labor. It’s almost like they have never actually run a business. 3) They play to much into liberal ‘groupthink’ and grasp at excuses. Here is the greatest of examples, that corporations are just raising prices to hurt people. Not the explanation that the costs of making products has skyrocketed like Fuel, Labor, Energy...just that they are rising prices to ‘make profit’. Never do the Democrats question if ‘inflation’ is actually under control or just the statistic is under control because they changed the parameters. Never do Democrats ask if Biden/Harris (Obama-Biden-Harris) policies have resulted in to much government spending that devalued the currency creating a overburdensome new tax. Nope, it’s always ‘greedy corporations’ NEVER is it greedy government or greedy lazy people. They want freedom and Constitutional rights, but no Responsibility.

I am not shocked by Harris statements, it a window into the soul of Democrats, the Democratic party, the Fascism and Socialism that they propose, and the propaganda that they believe. It’s a fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives, one that probably has the best chance of leading to civil conflict.

Sorry about the ‘rant’ but it is the difference.

To recover the costs of delivering the goods plus enough income to pay your employees, including yourself, is not gouging.
It's just a Marxist screw-the-rich propaganda ploy.
One of many more if Kamabla gets voted/cheated into office.
