US Sen Candidate (current Lt Gov) John Fetterman: “Prosecute oil & meat execs”

From Fetterman’s op/ed that appeared in a Pennsylvania newspaper a couple weeks back:

quote:

But when it comes to bringing costs down for working Pennsylvanians, we can’t end there. It’s time we crack down on the big, price gouging corporations that are making record profits while jacking up prices for all of us.

Take the massive oil companies, for example. Chevron, Exxon, and Shell have seen their profits increase 200% since last year, but they’re still charging us sky-high prices for gas. Companies like Tyson posted over a billion dollars in profits last quarter, while raising prices on meat products our families depend on.

It’s gross, and deeply unpatriotic, for the big corporations to be rolling around in cash while charging us record high prices for gas and groceries.

We’ll crack down on this by prosecuting the executives of these huge corporations, including the big oil companies and meatpacking companies who are artificially driving up prices, gouging consumers at the pump and at the grocery store.

Similar to many others who make these statements, Mr. Fetterman’s background shows he likely has zero experience in anything involving a private sector company.
