. . . . Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one and a half years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

So what is bankrupting the country? The war in Iraq, or illegal aliens?
And don’t even get me started on the sorry Democratic record on drilling offshore and in ANWR. And the INSANE solution of “Nationalizing” refineries. This from the same people that have jacked up every thing they have touched.
And taxing the oil companies MORE for their “excessive” profits? Who do you think will ultimately pay the cost of more taxes on oil companies? If you said the consumer, give yourself an “A”. I read this on another blog the other day, I would attribute it to them if I could remember…..
If I make 10 cents on 1$ — then that’s OK.
If I make $10 on $100 — then that’s OK.
If I make $100,000 on $1,000,000 then maybe that’s OK.
But, If I make $40 Billion on $430 Billion, then that’s “excessive” And I still have to pay $26 Billion in taxes.
Most businesses I know about won’t try anything that won’t return at least 22% profit, so we should be praising the oil companies for the work they are doing. And BTW, the oil companies are “making” about 9 cents a gallon. Guess who’s getting 18.4 cents a gallon FOR DOING NOTHING? The Federal Government. And most of the states are getting another 20 cents per gallon for doing nothing also. So, Congress, if you want to tax the oil companies, then how about taxing the government and states proportionally? I guess that wouldn’t make sense, but it would be more fair.
I must go breathe air now.
