Demos think they're gonna help us on these high gas prices by slapping a big winfall profits tax on the oil companies. Let's review kids. What happens when you tax something? You get less of it, and I'm not talking about Oil company profits, I'm talking about Oil!

Back in the late 1970s when the demos did this last, the winfall profits tax was responsible for reducing oil production by 6%.

Let's see the average oil company makes about 8 or 9 cents per gallon on gas and diesel sold here in the us. Federal government makes 18.4 cents on gas and 24.4 cents on diesel. The average state tax is 45 cents per gallon some up to 65 cents. In addition the average state has sales tax at 6% and some higher, at $4 per gallon that's another 24 cents. Now let's do the math 18.4+45+24=87.4 cents per gallon. Now who has been making winfall profits?

I have a little secret to tell you here, who do you think pays corp income taxes and other taxes put on businesses? It's the consumer. Companies pass taxes on as costs of doing business. So in addion to the 87.4 cents there is an unknown amount of "pass thru" taxes. Exxon paid $28 billion just in income taxes last year. I don't know if you people know this or not but Exxon passes that cost along to the consumer. The gas station pays taxes as well, the wholesaler that sells the gas to the gas station pays taxes. These taxes are all passed on the the end consumer.

So if it makes you feel better to confiscate the oil companies profits remember this, what ever the oil company pays in tax will eventually be in the price at the pump. And if you tax these guys too much they will just cut their production and the supply will shink and guess what happens when there is lower supply? No Nancy and Barack the price doesn't go down, it goes up. Scarcity causes higher prices.

OBAMA SUPPORTS KILLING LIVE BABIES!! NOT JUST UNBORN BABIES BUT LIVE BABIES!!


"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

Who the fuck cares how much money a company makes as long as they provide a good product?

What we need is to create policy that will effect demand. This is not a supply issue the world has plenty of oil. This is a demand issue. With China and India emerging and using more and more oil, the demand is growing faster than supply.

What can effect demand? We need a shift in the demand curve. How to do that. I have advocated a national 55 mph speed limit. Any state that doesn't go along with it loses their federal highway funds. Strictly enforced this would save about 12% per year from our current fuel consumption.

Open up every area of the USA, Anwar, National Parks, off shore in all areas to exploration and drilling.

Build new nuclear plants at least 4.

Increase the tax credits for compressed natual gas vehicle. Ford and Honda make cars and vans that run on CNG. There is currently 50 times the reserves of natural gas in the USA than oil and we don't look for it.

Increase the tax credit for hybred cars and all electric cars.

The speed limit would give us a head start and the other measures would take 4 or 5 yrs to have an effect.

The people who are getting screwed with retail prices jacked up to make those outlandish profits for the company care. Only repugs think it's ok.

If you’re really tough, you’re not always looking to try to start a fight. If you’re really tough, sometimes you just walk away. If you’re really tough, you just save it for when you really need it,” Obama said.

Hey if you don't like it don't buy the product. Why don't all you crybaby fucktards just boycot gasoline?

This "PooperDelegate" fool is probably the first time I have ever really questioned the wisdom of the 1st Ammendment. Perhaps, the 2nd Ammendment is the most rational & practical answer to such fools. ....pjwky

SuperRetard is the perfect Republicant.

Obama leads the stupid campaign in America.
The 57 states man!
