Good Cartoon!
Of course he blocked it.
He hates our economy. He wants higher fuel costs to limit your feedom.
He want an angry mob wanting jobs that he keep promissing and will never deliver.
He and his party say that are for the blue collar worker but if you look at the track record they do everything that they can to eliminate traditional blue collar jobs of manufacturing, refining, construction, and mining along with all the auxillery jobs that go with them. A construction site building a new building creates not only workers, miners, and manufacturer jobs but service related jobs, to fix the trucks and equipment, to feed the workers, to cloth the workers, to meet the unlimited wants of the average person with their disposible income. (cars, Trucks, Boats, personal items, school, parts and peices for the afore mentioned items and the list can go on and on.) And as the support people then create jobs with their wants and needs as they have a disposible income. Trickle down economics simply explained. But this would make a happy country and a happy country is not one to throw away our founding principals to be come slaves to the state.
Look at history and you will see where unhappy starving people are the ones looking for a Utopian change. The class warfare has produced some of the worst political desicions ever. The French revolution and the slaughter in the after math, the Russian revolution and the millions that were killed because of it, the Chinese Revolution and the Millions that were killed, Cambodia, Viet Nam, the Second Chineese purge, Rodisia, Angola, Kenya, Haiti, and Cuba.
I can gop on and on with places around the world where class warefare resulted in conflict and chaos. many were positioned against a wall to catch rife for not supporting the revolution.
