All In Favor, Say "I"
To a Corporate Windfall Profit Tax that is. If a company makes too much money, they'll be taxed and that money re-invested in the infrastructure of this country.

When I'm paying some of the highest gas prices in the history of this country and an oil company like Exxon/Mobile sees a record profit of over $36,000,000,000.00 (yes, that's billion folks) for the year, there is a problem! This is more than any other company in the whole country. The combined profits for the big 3 oil companies... more that $63 billion!

Is it a surprise that an oil man is in the White House? I think not.

I agree with Barbara Boxer of California... Bush should call on the FTC to investigate gouging. Unfortunately, FTC seems to mean Friend to Chevron.

I think big oil should ease up on those profits a little and give the average Joe a break on gas for the cars that get us to a from work as well as the oil we use to heat our home and keep our families warm.

How do you feel about us overflowing the coffers of big oil with record profits? Leave your comments below.

    It's pretty obvious how I feel... I think that everyone in the oil industry is in dire need of that money so they can keep paying bribes to our "President" so they can keep raping the American public. You know Dubaya is making a butt-load off of this shit as he is as crooked as a broken dick.

I'm happily married to my high-school sweetheart and have two sons. I love relaxing down the Jersey Shore. I also enjoy sitting by the pool after dinner, talking to the wife, watching the kids, and smoking a cigar.
