Changing the System
Also, how silly of me to think we can change the system, as she proposes to do with the gas holiday
How exactly does this "change the system"? The oil companies would merely boost the price of gasoline to compensate for the removal of the tax, and all of that money would flow to them instead of to helping repair our roads and bridges.
So I guess it would "change the system" in that it would take more valuable services away from working people and give that money to the billionaire elites of the oil industry.
And in this way it's of a kind with earlier Clinton Republican-lite policies, which shipped good paying jobs overseas by the millions while enriching multinational corporations and the elites who own and control them.
I think the biggest change we could make to our system would be to elect someone who hasn't been personally responsible for helping to screw this country up in the first place.
