A petition from the men who deliver milk

http://bastiat.org/en/petition.html

There are people within our very borders who are losing their high paying jobs to the diabolical influences of competition. The most persecuted group of people is none other than the milkman. These men are being ruthlessly pushed out of the market by competition. The milkman provides a valid and necessary service to Americans. They deliver you fresh and cold milk to your house on a day to day basis. This job however is being encroached upon by the diabolical refrigeration business. These ice boxes from hell use sorcery and black magic to take heat out of the air and make food colder. We as a nation need to take a stand against toyota, I mean refrigeration, and protect the milkman. Sure it is cheaper to install a refrigerator in your house, but is it worth taking a job from a man? This is a terrible problem that can only be solved by having the government buy the patents that put this evil device on the market. Don't act in your self-interest by buying an efficient and affordable Japanese car...I mean refrigerator.What right does the market have in determining who gets paid? Fight the market and think of the poor milkman's family who won't have any customers. This poor man will be forced onto the street and made to get a higher education. Don't make these poor uneducated, autoworkers... I mean milkmen, have to actually learn a new skill. Think of the children.
