Kucinich Wants to be a Character in "Atlas Shrugged": The Villain

It is amazing that we are in the year 2012 we still are talking about the looters in Washington after Atlas Shrugged has been out there for everyone to read since 1957. That makes it 55 years since the publication of one of the most important pieces of literature ever written. I mean EVER written. Remember, in the story Ms Rand unequivocally describes the looters and the mouchers - what makes them tick (power) and what makes them cry for more power (money and fame). We can now say that 2012 is living up to Ayn Rand's looters and the moochers in Atlas Shrugged, by scribbling the bill: H.R. 3784 "GAS PRICE SPIKE ACT OF 2012".

Thanks moochers for including the year 2012 in the name of the bill. It will be remembered in mockery and disdain for decades. What else can one do but laugh at the ridiculous. Read Erica Johnson's piece at TownHall Magazine below:

Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a "Reasonable Profits Board" to control gas profits.

The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a "windfall profit tax" as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.

The Gas Price Spike Act, H.R. 3784, would apply a windfall tax on the sale of oil and gas that ranges from 50 percent to 100 percent on all surplus earnings exceeding "a reasonable profit." It would set up a Reasonable Profits Board made up of three presidential nominees that will serve three-year terms. ...

Specifically, he said the money would be used to fund a tax credit on the purchase of fuel-efficient cars and set up a grant program for mass transit programs when oil-and-gas prices are high. ...The following is part of the actual bill to make new law allowing expropriation of producer's profits. ATLAS SHRUGGED again. Except this time the people should shrug and go on strike against Washington and Obama.Rread the bill below. I'd cry if it weren't so funny to read this crap.

Co-sponsoring the bill are five other Democrats: Reps. John Conyers Jr. (Mich.), Bob Filner (Calif.), Marcia Fudge (Ohio), Jim Langevin (R.I.), and Lynn Woolsey (Calif.)
