What really needs to happen is for a mathematician to step forward, and prove mathematically, that profits over a certain percentage for a given good is a bad thing. Especially for those companies that supply goods that everybody uses... Such as ... Oh... I don't know... Gas.
Those record profits aren't so record when a recession happens right after them... Because then... Inflation happens. Dollar isn't worth what it once was...
And a news flash to all the other countries out there that the US is a customer of... And make no mistake, the US *is* the consumer nation of the world... If we tank... You tank. Next time it's a good idea to go to war with us. The US won't spend as much money, therefor it's likely that this kind of thing happens... Loaning us money for the war is a *bad* idea... Notice China isn't real happy right now... We owe them some bookoo cash... But... Their return on that investment loan is going down by the day...
STUPID.
I'll grant you that I didn't know that the economy would tank as bad as it has... But I knew a recession was coming when we were paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas for months at a time.
