The Headline:
House Approves New Taxes On Big Oil

The story:
The bill would roll back two lucrative tax breaks for the five largest U.S. oil companies.

Just goes to show the bias in reporting by the msm... Rescinding a tax break they never should have gotten in the first place, is NOT imposing NEW taxes on the oil industry. Why the hell should the U.S. taxpayer be subsidizing a multi billion dollar industry that deliberately has curtailed refinery production in order to force higher prices at the pump.

For our services? Invading based on lies and fake evidence and occupying is a war crime. Killing 1.1 million Iraqis was a war crime. Now you want to send them the bill? How sick.

Seek reality.

I''ll agree with you it was wrong to go in in the first place but now, the Iraqis that are in power are the ones who wanted change in their country. They should have been able to stand up on their on for a couple of years now. We are in that country still holding their hand and not getting anything out of it. Yes, it''s time to start billing them if they don''t make more effort to become self-sufficient.

I will not vote for ANY incumbent. RE-ELECT NOBODY!

18 billion is the cost of 9 day of this oil war (500 million a day)

How patriotic of our blackmailed and bribed congress of perverts. Pathetic.

The sad reality is that you can run a car on water after the water is electrically charged to change the bond angle of the hydrogen atoms. Google Stan Meyer, Puharich and others.

Youtube stan meyer.

They do not pay taxes now. Is that the best congress can do? This is designed to take pressure off congress, manipulate the american people while america is taken down from within by the zionist to hide the theft of 2.6 trillion by the zionist merchants of death.

How about a 100% tax for war crimes and treason?

I can''''t believe how stupid peloski is. We need to be drilling in Anwar not imposing higher gasoline prices on the consumers. Corporations don''''t pay taxes, the consumers pay those taxes. Lower your standard of living peloski and gore, kerry, kennedy. clinton and obama just spent 250 million(wasted) lets tax that at 50%. I''''m sick of the democrats tearing this great country down. throw the incompedents out and set term limits.

What we need to do is start demanding Iraq pay us for our services in oil. Along with all the other countries who we send aid to. Pay us back with oil.

Nationalize the oil companies globally since they have committed anti trust and monopolistic crime with the blessing of our congress of blackmailed sexual pervert that have been stuffed into Washington.

Hey congress, where is the 2.6 trillion that was stolen from the pentagon budget off. See CSPAN the day before 911. The next day, the evidence was destroyed of the biggest theft in history of Earth.
