Kamala Harris, the current Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, has unveiled a plan that should send chills down the spine of every freedom-loving American. Harris’s proposal to ban so-called “price-gouging” is nothing more than a blatant attempt to impose government control over our economy, something we’ve only seen in the darkest corners of history—under communism.
Price Controls: The First Step to Communism
Harris wants to address the rising consumer prices that have been hurting Americans for years. But instead of tackling the root causes—like energy policy failures, reckless government spending, and overregulation—she’s choosing to go after businesses. Her plan includes a federal ban on “price-gouging,” which is just a fancy term for price controls.
Let’s be clear: Price controls have never worked. They are anti-capitalistic, and they are the tools of a communist regime. History shows us that when the government tries to control prices, it leads to disastrous consequences—supply shortages, reduced quality of goods, and ultimately, higher prices. Why? Because when you tell a business what it can and can’t charge, you destroy its ability to operate efficiently. Businesses will produce less because it’s no longer profitable, which means fewer goods on the shelves and more suffering for consumers.
U.S. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin hit the nail on the head when he called Harris out on this. He didn’t mince words, either, labeling her plan as communist at its core. And he’s right! Price controls aren’t about helping Americans—they’re about control. They’re about giving more power to the government and stripping away the freedoms that make our country great.
Harris’s Price Control Plan: A Smokescreen for the Real Issues
But Harris’s plan is more than just a misguided attempt at economic intervention; it’s a smokescreen. It’s a distraction from the real issues that are causing prices to skyrocket. What Harris doesn’t want to admit is that the real problem lies in the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous energy policies, overspending, and overregulation.
Since Harris and Biden took office, prices have surged by more than 20%. Energy policies that restrict domestic oil production have driven up the cost of gas and electricity, which in turn drives up the cost of everything else. When it costs more to transport goods, those costs are passed on to consumers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Government spending is out of control. The more money the government prints and pumps into the economy, the less value our dollar has. This isn’t rocket science—it’s basic economics. Yet Harris wants us to believe that greedy corporations are to blame for high prices. It’s a classic case of deflection, and it’s insulting to the intelligence of the American people.
The Dangers of Government Overreach
What Harris is proposing isn’t just bad policy; it’s a dangerous overreach of governmental power. The idea that Washington bureaucrats should be able to dictate what businesses can charge for their goods is terrifying. It’s the kind of thing we see in command-and-control economies, where the government makes all the decisions, and the people suffer.
U.S. Senator Rick Scott of Florida has been vocal about the dangers of Harris’s plan. He pointed out that Harris has never built a business, never met payroll, and doesn’t understand profit and loss. She’s a career politician who has no clue about the real-world impact of her policies. And that should terrify every American. The government has no business meddling in the free market. When it does, it only creates more problems.
Price Controls: A Proven Failure
Harris’s idea of price controls isn’t new, and it’s certainly not innovative. We’ve seen it before, and it’s failed every time. From the gas shortages of the 1970s to the breadlines of the Soviet Union, price controls have always led to disaster. The problem is simple: When the government sets prices, it ignores the natural balance of supply and demand. This leads to shortages because businesses can’t afford to produce goods at the government-mandated price.
Take a look at any country that has tried price controls, and you’ll see the same story. Goods disappear from the shelves, black markets thrive, and the people suffer. Yet Harris wants to bring this failed idea to America. Why? Because it gives the government more power. It’s not about helping the American people—it’s about control.
Final Thoughts
Kamala Harris’s price control plan is a clear and present danger to our economy and our freedoms. It’s an anti-capitalist, communist-inspired overreach that will do nothing but harm American businesses and consumers alike. We cannot let this happen. Harris’s plan is a distraction from the real issues plaguing our economy, like bad energy policies, reckless spending, and overregulation.
As conservatives, we must stand up and fight back against this dangerous proposal. We need to get out in force and vote. We need to make our voices heard and stop this assault on our freedoms. The future of our country depends on it.
