$10/gallon gasoline will force us to look into new fuels that dont have a doomsday. I dont see whats wrong with that, market dictates change.

And what fuels will that be? Drilling for our own oil will buy us TIME. Liberals don't want that because of their irrational hatred of the internal combustion engine.

That is not the market at work - it is the government playing favorites based on psuedo science and ideology.

There IS NO doomsday coming because we use oil as our primary fuel. That is a flat out lie.

I dont know if you've noticed oil tripling in price over the last 8 years?

If it triples again, life as you know it will end.

By the way, I thought most of the "middle class" that the libs are cyring about basically have thier investments, like 401k's and retirement funds with oil companies as one of thier bets, tax the snot out of them and who else do you hurt?

You libtards are nuts, it took 40 years to start to get out from what you did then. We should have been harvesting our resources 30 yrs ago. A lib plan has never worked. But I do realize, that is because the right libs havent been running things yet.

So in your small little mind this possibility will fix all the USA problems? There is a good reason we have a bicameral legislature. I suggest you be careful what you wish for.

Back to the topic; windfall profits will do nothing but take money out of your shallow pocket and put it in two places.
1. Gov't hands to be further wasted by Congress critters and
2. Those "EVIL" oil companies.

Do you honestly think the Oil companies will absorb a punitive tax and say "Oh well, we tried to gouge you and you guys stuck it to us?"

The punitive windfall profits tax will pass to consumers quicker than crap through a goose. Really Junior, demand a refund from your college for the failed attempt to educate you.

That's what little know-nothings like the gutless liar Eyelids forget. Corporations don't pay taxes...any operating costs, which taxes are a part of, are passed on to the consumer in the price of the product. So, if the Democrats are successful in increasing taxes on the oil companies, the ones who will really be hurt are the poor and middle class people of the country.
