But therein lies the rub. Remember those funky supply and demand charts we did in grade 8 economics classes? Business are ALREADY charging us the MAXIMUM that they can charge us without losing business. My aunt makes these really neat looking Christmas ornaments out of styrofoam nuts and pipe cleaners. She charges $2 per ornament because that's the point at which she can sell them. Not because she could sell them for $5 and she's a nice person. If the cost of pipecleaners went up, she still can't "pass that on to the consumer" because if she charges $3 per ornament, she won't sell nearly as many. She would have to find a way to cut down on the pipe cleaners and perhaps use half a pipe cleaner for the ornament whereas she used to use a whole pipe cleaner. Somehow, someway, she has to keep the cost down.

Liberal brainwashing. We all know who the focus of the Dion's scam is.

No, "we" don't all know who the focus is, because "we" don't all think it is a scam at all. But hey, if we disagree with you, we MUST be brainwashed. Nice.

As for the "no goals in place, therefore it must be a scam".... I'm on a diet. I've cut out all the crap junk food and pizza only once a week. Getting more exercise too. I have no end goal weight that I would like to reach. Since I don't have a target weight, I must not really be all that interested in losing weight and I'm really cutting down on the junk food to save money that I can use for hookers and blow.
