I have two predictions to make, in light of recent events.
1. I think that if all the liberals get what they want, and more and more people start driving hybrid vehicles, in order to live “green,” it will backfire on them. Soon, they will realize that the government is not collecting as much revenue in taxes from gas. (After all, the gov’t gets like $.50 a gallon, while “big oil” is only getting around $.08 per gallon.) So, they will be loosing a ton of money, and yup, you guessed it, raise our taxes even more. People think gas prices are high now. Just wait until the libs realize how much they are loosing out on at the pump.
2. I think that if this horrible immigration bill goes through, and all these people become “legal,” it will become a terrible burden for employers. Right now they can get away with paying the illegals less money because they are willing to work for less. But, I predict that when they become legal, they will demand more money. They will become subject to minimum wage laws, too. While some are saying that this bill would be good for businesses, I think it is going to end up costing them more.
Of course, not all who drives Hybrids do it to “live green”. Some just drive a lot of miles and can, therefore, drive further per gallon!
It interesting that those who will be hurt the most by this bill will be minorities. As a general rule, most minorities tend to vote Democrat. But, when push comes to shove… who helps them? The converatives. For example, who ordered the National Guard to escort black children to school in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957? I’ll give you a hint. It was a Republican. The Governor, who tried to get the National Guard to keep the black children away from the school? Democrat. Who forced the South to abolish slavery? A Republican. Who tried to keep blacks from voting during the Civil Rights? Why, it was the Southern Democrats… history is an interesting think. Too bad no one remembers it.
