I seriously hope someone paid you to say that.
The government's not perfect, the private sector's not perfect. They both have advantages to gain from fleecing individuals.
You keep saying that you don't want to depend on other countries. So you'd rather depend on huge, faceless companies that keep getting bigger and richer and with worse and worse customer service? It would be one thing if competition was enough to keep these companies honest and helpful, but it's obviously not, as we're seeing.
This is why I don't understand why you can't get behind what people are saying about how high gas prices might drive stronger local economies. We all have to depend on other people, so wouldn't you rather depend on people you know? People who care about your health and the health of your community?
So tell me, why would you rather depend on a private sector that has shown time and time again that the companies that make it up will speedily do things to hurt you if it increases their profit?
