"The venture unnerved local filling station and convenience store operators suddenly competing with the city in this Republican stronghold. Critics said the government has no business injecting itself into the private sector, and one store owner branded it as so(c)ialism."
Of course they hate it, they are being undercut and they know that once people start to like not having to pay for their profit margin and marked up overhead, they will lose.
Let's face it, it is So(c)ialism. And, in this case, the only way they will kill it is politically because they cannot compete with it economically. Few people are going to continue paying $3.80 - $4.00/gallon if they can get it anywhere for $3.35..........................
