If Iran were to completely shut off all of their oil production, or Saudi Arabia, do you have any fucking idea what that would do to our economy? Oil would SHOOT past $200 a barrel on its way to god knows what. Our already on thin ice economy would come to a screeching halt. It would be like the great depression, except worse. Countries would go to war. The country would plunge into poverty. Then, after a while, law and order would start to break down.
But thats not us really relying on them or anything. They just have the ability to completly fuck our country over. No big deal. No reason to worry. Those folks all LOVE US!!!
- is it sort like redistributing… you know, taking from one group and giving to another.
so if a rich guys pays $100 and a middle class guy pays $10 and a lower class person pays $1, and they get a road built with the money, that is redistribution of wealth? Interesting.
