I've given up complaining about the gas prices. They are gonna screw us real good no matter what. I've been driving less and using the boat MUCH less.

Two middle fingers to the entire gas/oil industry.

 

$4 gas huh?

Well, it's a good thing the house passed that big "tax the oil man" package.

How do these people not understand? Who the hell do they think pays the tax? Sure, the tax is directed at Exxon or Shell or whatever but where do they get their money? What's that you say? From us? So we get to pay their tax for them? Well, that's right Billy. Any costs or burden levied onto a company that earns its money by selling goods or services simply offsets those costs by charging more for that good or service. If the offset burden on the consumer becomes high enough to hurt sales the company further offsets its new burden onto its employees. The corporate entity is the last in line for actually paying any of its burden.

Well why would the government want to raise the price per gallon of gas for us? Don't they want to help us? You see, Billy, government taxes every gallon of gas sold. This tax is a percentage of the base price per gallon. So as the cost per gallon goes up, Billy, the tax goes up thereby increasing the profit to the very people who levied the tax to begin with.

The oil companies hardly care at all about the increase as they never feel it. The government loves the increase because they profit from it. You and I, Billy, get taxed twice over for it.

God Bless America!

She is just a shady as bush, just on the other end; like healthcare.

Back in the early 90's, she was beating a drum to the tune of "universal healthcare" until she recieved a kick-back from the medical insurance companies in the sum of 850.000.00! That tune went silent after that.

I don't trust any party. Most polititians seem to be influenced by major companies, from donations to kick-backs whatever... We live in Corp. America now, time to revolt people!!!

 

im sick of this country, more and more big brother takes and takes, ever wonder why they call em big brother? well its simple for those who have brothers. does anyone else think its ironic that this country was founded because our ancestors left englad because of taxes and now we need 2 jobs 2 live comfortably!!! sick sick sick.theres definatly a prob. the firs one is anyone who thinks a vote really matters in an election.

 

i still think Dennis Kucinic would have been the perfect president. too bad he had no funding. he has all the right plans/ideas. better than the repubs + dems put together. hed solve this oil prob

 

You could have 75% of Congress and the Senate vote to approve offshore and ANWAR drilling, and all it would take is one envirowhacko to file a lawsuit on behalf of a spotted owl or a snail darter, and one liberal judge willing to hear the suit, and that would wipe everything out. Then you have States rights to deal with, which falls into that particular states legislative process.

Bush Derangement Syndrome is real, and has a huge impact on rational thinking of liberals. The sad part about Bush is with the 3 clowns running for President now, in 3-4 years we will be looking back wishing we had a person like Bush in the White House.

 

im still wishing we had bill in office.

 

There's a lot of offshore bank accounts full of oil money...

 

lol, if you look at the cities and coutnries there, the countries that arent so safe but have exports of oil have the cheapest prices. and the countries that are safe cost much more... trend maybe?
