JBO for MAyor!

No matter how bad the economy get we always have those that are rushing to the defense of the poor struggling oil companies.
Of course we should not ever consider asking the oil companies to pay their fair share and we should thank Senator Elizabeth for looking out for the interests of the oil companies. Bush and Cheney pushed for huge tax breaks for the oil companies and I would not be surprised if Senator Dole was pushing right along with them.
Our record debt and the oil company’s record profits are really not a coincidence.
Basic economics tells us that a tax on anything will lower demand and taking the revenues and helping out those that are at the end of their rope in these hard times would be the right thing to do but it’s hard to compete with the political influence of the oil companies.

Good article, George.  The operative word is “now.”

“… I blame the Democrats there who did not have the balls to stand up to (Bush)...”
“I intend to write in Hillary’s name when I vote in November.”

Does anyone else see an inherent contradiction in these two statements?

Yes. Renegotiate NAFTA.
