Your theories are social engineering, plain and simple. You may believe that to be conservative and common sense, but your beliefs are not grounded in reality.

With regard to price gouging and wage controls - please reveal to us all the difference between a wage control and price controls from the perspective of the store owner. Huck and you believe that a store owner, who has prepared themselves for an emergency by stocking up on those things that will be necessary, should be prevented from profiting from their foresight.

In other words - the government should control the amount of money the store owner can make.

Logic apparently isn’t your strong suit, FRiend. (Neither is psychology)

Am I seriously supposed to answer this far fetched stretch of an argument? How about a poll. Since almost every Romneybot and other pseudo-conservative on this thread agrees with you on the main issue, as do the many real conservatives who don't have the facts on this case, let's see if they agree with you on this. Does anyone else here see a difference between preventing store owners from artificially jacking up prices, often by double/triple factors, in middle of a natural disaster and imposing wage caps across the board? Regardless of whether you stand on price gouging measures, do you not see a difference? I'll let the results speak for themselves. And yes, opposing decades long sentences for teen burglars is "social engineering...." You epitomize logic and are a shinning light in an otherwise dim world. Yawn.
