Comments on: House Approves New Taxes On Big Oil

Passes $18 Billion In New Taxes On Biggest Oil Companies; Measure Awaits Senate Action

[libsrweak]

Huge corporations already own the senate and the whitehouse.
I don''''t expect much support for renewable energy especially since it will cut into oil industry profits.

"EXCELLENT", IT''S ABOUT TIME, Hooray.

It has been said "The White House said the bill unfairly takes aim at the oil industry. President Bush is expected to veto the legislation if it passes Congress."

It''s a place to start. Than bring on the Beer, Alcohol, & Cigarette companys that don''t contribute anything to saving the Planet. Getting tired of seeing all the Butts, Bottles, & Cans trashing up the place.

Use the taxes, penalities, application fees, etc. to create jobs, low income housing, fuel assistance, local & state tax relief, schools and other programs for those of us that are being taken to the cleaners.

Time for Congress to clean up their act & get back to what we voted them in for in the first place, doing the work of the American People.

I know, its an election year. So congress can sit back and play the blame game. While the corporation lobbyists pour large sums of money into their re-election campaigns to keep congress quiet so they can put it to the people in the mean time.

Wanna bet that when we also get solar/wind powered home systems we get a tax rather than a tax credit for installing our $30K solar electric system?

Aunty Zion said (at 7.32AM) that a car will run on water if the molecules are electrically-charged to change the bond angle of the hydrogen atoms.

Yes, Aunty Zion, and the Sun rose in the West this morning.

TRY GETTING IT RIGHT FOR A CHANGE...
Jesus, some people have such thick skulls they couldn''''t be penetrated with an IED."

FROM THE FIRST LINE OF THE ARTICLE..."The House approved $18 billion in new taxes on the largest oil companies Wednesday as Democrats cited record oil prices and rising gasoline costs in a time of economic troubles." What part of that didn''t you get?

Bushie just contradicted himself in front of the nation on not knowing the price of fuel at the pump.When asked another question he didn''t know or have an answer for, he went back to the fuel question that he evidently (LIED) about previously.
