I'm sure California could have lower energy prices, if they raised taxes
to
pay the difference. Then, they could be just as socialist as Albeeta.



How is giving my money to big banks NOT Socialist? And why do Socialist
countries have a much
higher standard of living than we do?

Care to give an example of such a socialist country with a higher
standard of living than that in the US?

Sweden. And just a point, the US doesn't even make the top ten list of
