Obama May Levy $15 Billion Tax on Oil Company Profit

[The Kin]

Obama is so idiotic.

How do you propose a $15 billion tax on oil company profit and at the same time oppose a reduction in the gas tax?

Me thinks this pisses off both schools of thought.

I absolutely hate Hillary, but I'm now totally indifferent to who wins the nomination or election: all candidates will fuck up the country evenly.

Only thing that can save Obama is if he picks Bloomberg as his running mate. Unlikely, but far more likely than McCain picking Dr. Ron Paul.

"Canada produces a lot of oil, but uses up most of it in their extremely fuel inefficient Zambonis."

LOL.

I say get that money from the iraqis, saudis, UAE,etc. They look on us as their hired palace guard anyway, at least make them pay for it.

Of course hillary is lying about what she would do to OPEC, but I think she is on to something. We need to bust up OPEC, with the military if necessary.

We get very little oil from the middle east.

The overwhelming majority of our oil comes from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and these good ole' United States.

Don't let facts get in the way of your uninformed statements, though.

You might want to work on your reading comprehension a bit. He neither stated nor implied that we get most of our oil from the middle east.

But don't let facts get in the way of your uninformed statements, though.
