It's usually done either with good intentions (welfare), or with good intentions used as a smoke screen (all of Chavez' programs). It works too. Should the company have to pay pensions? Sure. And hey, in order to ensure that happens, the government is going to take control of the company....no big deal right? This smokescreen works too.....just check out Gel's post. In America we call that ENRON. The difference here is that A.) Nobody > has to work for ENRON, there are millions of other options.

That's a wonderful example of how well government controls on private industry work. What were some of those So Cal electrical bills we saw in that thread? $400? $600? Those periodic rolling blackouts that seem to only plague Cali must be fun too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213549 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
