The consequences of milk socialism
Michael Hampton at Homeland Stupidity - in April, George Bush signed into "law" S.2120, the "Milk Regulatory Equity Act of 2005". This law was bought by large milk producing corporations in the Arizona-Las Vegas market to prevent Hein Hettinga from selling milk for less than their price-fixed price. Milk socialism. [lrtdiscuss]
So, of course, the representatives of Big Dairy complained -- loudly -- and started funneling millions of dollars to Congress in order to either force Hettinga into the collective, or force him out of business.
Because, of course, we can't allow anybody to come in and offer the same product at lower prices. It might reduce big corporate profits and improve people's standard of living. That's why we need socialism: to keep big corporations big, and keep the little guy down.
Hettinga has filed a federal lawsuit, alleging that the so-called Milk Regulatory Equity Act of 2005 is unconstitutional.
"I still think this is a great country," Hettinga told the Post. "In Mexico, they would have just shot me."
