Coming soon to America … the British government is ordering the heads of the biggest gas and electricity companies to hand over part the profits. If they don’t, they will face a new windfall tax.

The companies are being told that they must agree to subsidize a new nationwide “fuel poverty” scheme to help 4.5 million of the poorest households. If the companies do not agree, a levy will be put on their profits. This poverty scheme is set to be unveiled as part of the budget in a few weeks.

The British government is taking these 'rich', 'evil' profits in order to curtail what they consider “excessive profiteering” by the utilities industry. Customers are apparently paying soaring household gas and electricity bills while the evil corporations claim profits that have increased by $5 billion in the past three years.

Now you just know that American politicians – probably on both sides fo the aisles – are going to jump on this like a crow on a June bug. Democrats, with no small amount of help from across the aisle, have been demonizing the idea of profits for decades. It’s all part of a campaign to attack free enterprise while strengthening government control over our economy. Again … with generations of government education in this country it won’t be difficult at all for our politicians to pick up where these Brit socialists leave off.
