I know we pay a large gas tax as well. I think there is room with something to be done. I'm definitely not saying I agree with Clinton. I wouldn't not vote for her if she were running or for any other Democrat for that matter.

There was a thread in the CORE about this. Turns out Exxon Mobil's, and other oil company's main source of income is petrochemicals. Exxon only supplies 3% of the oil used. So it can be a little misleading to think that they are making these billions mainly off of oil.

(06-28) 19:03 PDT SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The leftiest big city on the Left Coast was Clinton country on Monday, with former President Clinton continuing his blockbuster book tour and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton headlining a Democratic fund-raiser where she vowed to defeat the Republicans' "extraordinarily ruthless machine." Headlining an appearance with other Democratic women senators on behalf of Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is up for re-election this year, Hillary Clinton told several hundred supporters -- some of whom had ponied up as much as $10,000 to attend -- to expect to lose some of the tax cuts passed by President Bush if Democrats win the White House and control of Congress. "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Sen. Clinton said. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

video of Shakka's quote. remember this lefties, when go to vote next year. Kucinich is your man. think K-U-C-I-N-I-C-H

Hillay is the biggest socialist in the Senate....omg she's so far left it's not even funny! She's a part of the "loony left". Who would think that government would try to control profits.....I mean Bush is a socialist too cause recently he was talking about the same thing..that these CEOs are making too much, and it doesn't show in the performance of their company and at the expense of the consumer. Who cares about the consumer...it's a socialist idea. We are a capitalist society, the only that matters is that these companies are making money. We need to shut up all of the socialists...jeeze..Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi..even Bush, what a bunch of commies!

I'm voting for Ann Coulter for President! She'd make a better female president! wait...is she a female???

P.S.

Bubba Clinton is responsible for everything that has gone wrong in our country. Hillary will turn us into North Korea! Run for Canada!

uh Canada wouldn't be a great idea cause they are more socialist-like than we are! haha

I am leaning towards MisterOpus1's thinking, he is definitely a bigger expert in this economic side of oil thing for sure. One thing for sure is that even though Exxon Mobil and other corporations deserve a share of the profits, a share of that should also go for the better of the people - i.e. heavier taxes to support education, roads, environment. These powerful corporations can do a lot of things with so much money like influencing political machine of the country which is evident in recent American history ;-)

I dont like Hillary, I dont like Republicans, I dont like Democracts. I dont like any of American politicians for that matter ;-) Lets resurrect Jefferson!!!

Funny story....after the election..our Governor in Michigan, who was born in Canada (Jennifer Granholm) was re-elected. That same week, I went to see a movie (Borat) and two guys behind me were complaining about her being re-elected. Well one of the guys said the most idiotic thing I have heard in my life..after complaining about taxes...fearing she was going to raise them...he said "I'm moving to Canada"...uh ok...that makes sense....haha

Thing is..people can complain all they want about socialist ideas, but moving to Europe (most of it) or Canada or such..isn't going to make things better..cause you'll be paying much higher taxes, and basically what you get in those countries is Socialism-lite. So I don't get what the right-wingers have against some socialist ideas that Europe and Canada have adopted (obviously it's not in their right-wing philosophy but socialism like ideas could be done without total government interfernce and still capitalist economically). Granted, I wouldn't want our country to turn into say Venuzuela, but that's not even "socialism" in the European sense, but a more Soviet styled totalitarianism like in Cuba.

Sooo...

Are you using "Socialism" as some of kind of automatic negative key word here?

Kind of like "communism" or "fascism"?
