We Need Windfall Profit Tax for Corn (Update)

There are those who have accused me of being sarcastic in my previous post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats have great ideas for handling the economy!
Clinton had great ideas! Remember how he reduced medical expenses. We Democrats understand that the reason we pay so much for medical insurance is that doctors are out there looking for people on whom they can operate: the more doctors there are, the more operations there are, and the more operations, the more big bucks we have to shell out.
So his answer was so simple! Just reduce the number of students allowed to become doctors (particularly specialist. Have you seen the cost of by-pass surgery??) Then people will have fewer operations and we will save billions!
Just look at home much money we have saved by not drilling for oil. Gasoline consumption is down 4%. See? Produce less of something and you save money! So we need to tax corn and we will save money!
If absolute incredulity was a sin, I'm so going to hell right now. Quinn67 has to be putting us on. There's a bare, infinitesimal chance that this individual could be serious about his/her posts regarding windfall taxes on corn. To me, though, it just feels...silly.
"absolute lack of knowlege regarding simply supply/demand issues"
Love it! In my defense, I am an professor of economices among typical left-wing academics so I was just venting a little here.
and loved it. True parody must have an element of truth, and the truth is, the left really, REALLY thinks this way.

When I was your age....heck, I was NEVER your age
how a proposal from a liberal is so ludicrous that we all naturally assumed it was a parody and biting sarcasm. Turns out it's nothing more than lefty troll bait.
Unless this is double-secret sarcasm, it's time to put the twit filter on quill67.

It has to be. I'm not trying to be insulting...but, seriously?! The tone, the earnest (apparently sincere) promotion of centralized economic controls, the absolute lack of knowledge regarding simple supply/demand issues...no way. I call shenanigans.
