Seriously how long do we intend to allow Movies to make hundreds of millions in Profits each,like the ridiculous profit margin on Batman. This money could better be used to help Education,or Infrastructure improvements.Instead we let it all be given to the Executives who run “Big Entertainment”,when will this madness stop?
Eric.No Gas is not something you need,take the bus,ride your bike,work closer to home.But the Dems have made it clear,that in fact we don’t need Gas.If we did they wouldn’t have fought the Exploration,and Collection of Oil,plus fought any ability to increase refining capacity for over 30 years. If they did that,at the same time that we “needed Gas”,then that would make them UnAmerican,wouldn’t it. Oh wait,it is the Dems I’m talking about,maybe we do need Gas.
you weren’t screwing yourself? I would **** for you to support something so silly, only to find out that it’s your own pocket book that is affected….

Bob J - I took that approach yesterday, and there were still people defending it. I figured if people realized it would actually affect their personal finances, they’d be a little more open minded to the negative impact of what they support…
Chihuahua….It’s only rhetorical because you assume you know the answer. It’s not an excuse for the high prices. But not only will it cost higher prices at the pumps, it will affect investments made by average Americans. It’s a DOUBLE HIT. What’s your excuse for that idiocricy?
Is it because it’s money left over at the end of the fiscal year that could have been spent by them?
Democrat: Big oil? Making a profit? Billions of dollars? How can this be?!?!
If there’s money left over, your evil!
They must be stopped through taxation!
Price of commodities go up? Punish them! Tax them more!
Gez: Life isn’t fair, and who are you to get money someone else worked for?
Or should the Govt take less in taxes that we wind up paying for at the pump?
Above reflects 1/4 earnings/tax.
captainobvious_lj: you had me until you wrote “the point is mute” it’s “moot”…you now have zero credibility.

relax, I’m being petty
Also will he explain why it didn’t work for Carter but will work now?
fdm215- Newsflash!! It’s his stupid recycled Carter-esque idea, the ball is in his court. Put down the kool-aid.
Puller58- I want to know how he PROPOSES to define it, PROPOSE how much it will be, and if he PROPOSES any other targets. Better?
News is a Multi Million Dollar business I fail to see how they will ever profit from supporting Obama.
Can Obama get the US media the rights to broadcast to the Muslim World
Millions do obeisance at the Golden Calf of Wallmart and never question the faith.
Is it just a matter of Wallmart having a more deceptive Public Relations
If Big Oil had TV ads with cute Bunnies rescuing oil from the dark side, deep in the Earth. Would we change our minds and Love Big Oil.
fantastic money
The socialist Hillary and Obama both say that Exxon Mobil make too much profit. They want to take a larger portion of their profit and give it to social programs for the poor.
Seems like they need a lesson on capitalism: the more profit a company keeps, the more they can invest, the more jobs they can create, the more they will stimulate the economy, and therefore the more taxes the federal government will receive for their ’social programs”.
State and Federal Treasuries “Profit” More from Gasoline Sales than U.S. Oil Industry

And yes, the “profits” Big Oil will reap are STEALING. Click on the link and read the entire article yourself.
TOLD YA the invasion was ultimately about OIL. How ya feel about all them Americans being murdered NOW?
“The US government has been involved in drawing up the law, a draft of which has been seen by The Independent on Sunday. It would give big oil companies such as BP, Shell and Exxon 30-year contracts to extract Iraqi crude and allow the first large-scale operation of foreign oil interests in the country since the industry was nationalised in 1972”

I have seen several “answers” denegrating the article, without attempting to address the issue which the article brings up.
Which is: We started a war in Iraq. We killed hundreds of thousands of people who never did a thing to us. We caused over a million people to flee the country — doctors, architects, lawyers, artist, teachers, professionals. And now Big Oil is descending upon the sovereign state to **** up big money.
You don’t see anything wrong with that?
Oh–and for the person who said the silliest thing EVER about “we built the structure?”
Gee….that’s really good information to have. I’ll think I’ll get on the phone right now and call this carpenter I used to date……and let him know he can MOVE IN right away in any of the homes he built over the last 20 years.
Idiot.
