Why Does The Left Want To Lower Gas Prices?
Has anyone else noticed how absurd it is that the Democrats want to try and lower gas prices? They’re pushing all sorts of legislation with the stated purpose of keeping gas prices low, and yet what most liberals on the left want is for America to use something other than fossil fuels to power our vehicles.
What level of economic illiteracy must one aspire to in order to not understand that making a commodity like gasoline cheaper is the surest way in the world to make people use more of it? If the liberals do succeed in making gas cheaper (bloody unlikely if you ask me) it’ll have the effect of people buying more SUV’s and driving more. Because for the average citizen, the price of gas (and not environmental considerations) is what drives choices about what vehicle to buy and how much to drive.
If the liberals really wanted us to stop using gasoline they’d do everything in their power to make gas more expensive. Which is probably their real agenda even if they say otherwise, because “we’ll make your gas more expensive” is a pretty hard sell to the public. But it’s true. Rising gas prices is the surest way to get people to stop using so much gas, and start considering alternate sources.
So much for liberals being more…intellectual…than conservatives.
