Bassturbed hit the nail on the head.
Scene #1, City Hall meeting room
"Uh, Ladies and Gentlemenwe are here before your zoning board and Town Government officials to ask permission to build a new refinery in the souteast corner of your town, it will bring jobs and added tax revenues to your city"
'A refinery'? "Not in my town, we don't want no stinking dirty oil refinery in our town, we'll call out the tree huggers, IFAW, The Sierra Club, The conservaion Law Foundation"! Try the next town over!"
"We did sir, every town and city weve asked has turned us down and the places we already have plants won't let us expand and modernize"
"So okay then that's it? "Okay then, sorry we asked" "Thank you all for your time".
Scene #2, in the company car outside city hall after the meeting adjourned.
"Better call the Board and tell them we got rejected" "okay, but you know the stock holders won't like this" "Ah well we will just have to raise the prices to meet sales and revenue expectations as usual" " I can't beleive how stupid the American public can be, if only they would let us build a few more plants, we could drop prices, supply would meet demand and with increased volume still make a profit by the increase sales" "I know, I will never understand it myself"
"I guess they just like paying more, business as usual" It's perfectly legal for now so........"
BEND OVER AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!
