In the world of MARXISM, Obama’s world, this is “fair”. He will be dictating HOW much anyone can charge for a product or service. It will be the STATE regulating your life. In the world of CAPITALISM, this would NOT be allowed. The MARKET determines what the price for the product or service should be and would encourage COMPETITION.

“Fair” is where you go to eat cotton candy and ride the ferris wheel.

Or when it's FREE, then it is “fair” to Obama people.

Obama people are self absorbed, self centered and envious of what YOU have and worked for. They want what YOU have NOW - any way they can get it.
