Kings of Crony Capitalism. That’s the modern Democratic Party. Washington handouts are coming so fast it’s impossible to keep track of them, but here is one more ... the New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act, better known as the NAT GAS Act. What does NAT GAS do? It imposes a user fee on natural gas that starts at 2.5 cents and ramps up, in the Senate version, to 12.5 cents per gallon.… who benefits? ... T. Boone Pickens has campaigned actively for the NAT GAS Act; in fact, the bill is sometimes referred to as the “Pickens Plan.”... But that isn’t the worst of it. The ubiquitous George Soros has his hand out, too.
“Crony Capitalism” is of course just the “polite” euphemism for the correct term for this form of government/private collusion: Fascism.
