His most famous quote is:  "Give me control over a man's economic actions, and hence over his means of survival, and except for a few occasional heroes, I'll promise to deliver to you men who think and write and behave as I want them to."

A little of both.  A hero when he lead his people to control of their own country in his younger days.  But as happens frequently around the world....power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Ben Franklin said something very close to: "Those who would surrender a bit of their liberty for a bit of security deserve neither."  How right he was, how right it is.

It's scary how much Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin predicted in their sayings and how badly they're ignored today when their philosophy is most applicable.\n\nHey, JFK quoter...figure out what "liberty" means and we'll see which way that quote applies.  JFK also said (quoting Teddy Roosevelt), when asked to sing a bar of his favorite song:\n\n"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else. "\n\nhttp://www.worldofquotes.com/author/John-Fitzgerald-Kennedy/1/index.html\n\nSgt_K:  Reality check man, on that $3.00 a gallon, the refinery makes about $0.10 profit (PLUS the initial cost of the barrel of oil), meaning the sale price is slightly higher.  The OIL company that drills the oil sells it at market value, currently around $70/barrel.  The retailer (often owned by the same oil company that refined and drilled the oil, ie Shell) pockets all but the tax rate, which runs at around 17% excise on gas.  Sum total, Shell, Conoco, Exxon, etc pocket around $2.50 on every $3.00 gallon sold.

This is a further part of socialist engineering, as I have said many times before we are heading for a totalitarian state  by stealth New Labours favourite tactic. People in the UK should remember Thomas Jefferson's famous words,"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty!"and "The issue to-day is the same as it has been throughout all history,whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite".
