If they sell lower the prices the government gets less taxes among other things, from them and us. It's time to change the Washington politicians who think they have life time appointments like the Supreme Court. This is partially due to our own complacency though. We need to nominate stronger people to run against this current Washington crap and vote them out of office. Most have been in office 20 + years and do very little in the way of helping the American people!

day49 Veteran Author Washington Posts:470 Points:558,450 Joined:Apr 2007	Message Posted: Jul 5, 2009 12:56:09 PM Ignore day49 Report Abuse Somewhat related in that it illustrates one issue when a country sets prices. When a government sets artificially low prices, it can sometimes result in a loss when selling. Also will lead to illegal selling at higher prices, when supply is short due to a company unable to sell at a low set price.
