Some where some how we have placed an sinister image on the word government maybe because we have forgot who the government is. So we need to revisit the constitution and realize that we live in a society that is governed by “We the People “ we are the government and whether through complacency or just plain laziness we have not been doing what we need to do and as a result of that we are on the edge of economical and environmental extinction, history should be used as a tool to accurately predict the future. Every society that has risen to power has fallen because they have spread their economic and military resources to thin, if we allow our public servants to continue to serve their own interests we will become another example of a society that has repeated the mistakes of the past

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. Ronald Reagan

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

The gop is correct as usual that bill would raise gas prices as the companies would quickly pass it on to the consumers the real problem is the Dems refusing to drill we have enough oil for 100 hundred years which would give qyuick and long lasting results while we produce other forms of energy, the Dems are holding us back so there socialistic ideas can be realized Obama is a marxis ,commy believer. he wants to socialize us vote for him and you will regret it!!!

In a grammar school setting what you say is true. However, the reality of the situation is that the federal government is and has been out of control for more than four decades now. The federal government is possibly the most inefficient entity ever created to solve problems. Few if any federal programs started by the government are ever discontinued even after the original goal is achieved. The federal budget is so vast and so complex that even seasoned economists and accountants cannot fathom the totality of it let alone the common man and woman. There are some extremely powerful forces that are tapped directly into our paychecks and there is little the common man can do about it. These special interests are foreign governments, international corporations, non-profit organizations with social agendas, and so on. These special interests are the reason that a candidate for congress will spend 100 times the salary of the job they are seeking to get elected to that position.

We should start conserving all energy resources. We should start drilling and have refinerys. The less companies are taxed the more they will be likely to keep the businesses here in America. Europe has started cutting taxes on businesses in an effort to draw more US companies to shut down here and reopen there.

There are so many rules, regulations, restictions that it is no wonder American businesses are leaving. If you tax companies less they stay here, if you tax people less they spend more either way that is good for the ecomony. To impose more tax is to stop growth in it's tracks.

We also need to stop with some of the enviromentalist who keep us from being energy independant. We are going to have to get some ok's about nuclear energy and drilling. In the meanwhile push to develope new energy resources for the long term solutions.

Putting additional taxes on any company or any person is just giving them less money to help drive the economy and make matters worse by rasing prices that get passed on to {us} the consumer making our prices higher making the tax we pay higher and it's an endless cycle.

I hate to break your bubble But Exon- Mobile are some of the biggest investers in alternate energy sources.The oil companys would love to build new refinerys and pipelines but the policys we have now in place prohibit expansion.They might disturb a turtle or a lizard.In the last en years untold thousands of miles of pipelines have been shut down and not replaced. All that oil is now being trucked which increases everyones cost.
What really gripes me is a congressman that borrows money to run for office and serves two terms and retires with full pay for life(with raises)and is a multimillionare.
So where did the money come from? and why isn,t he in jail?
Jimmy Carter tried the windfall profits tax. Results the indepents were put out of bussiness ,the majors bought them up or just moved offshore and payed no taxes. Both resulted in higher prices
Another little tidbit The largest investors in oilcompany stock is the school teachers unions.

The only way a Democrat knows how to solve a problem is to raise taxes.

You can't tax your way to prosperity.

Does anyone not get that if they raise taxes on the profits of these companies, that all they will do is raise prices to make up for the taxes?

Which we, the end user, will have to pay for anyway.

No small wonder that the House has the lowest approval rating in the history of this country.

The only way a Democrat knows how to solve a problem is to raise taxes.

You can't tax your way to prosperity.

the government should start to expand , start out by hiring the best technology experts in the country

Good job Republicans blocking theft of profits from pension funds, shareholders from the communist democrats. Windfall tax will reduce investment in oil business even more, and create more neglect on pipelines, and less investment in upgrading refinery capicity. Oil profits may look big but margins of profit in oil are a lot less in 2008 then in 1998 extration costs have increased reducing profit margin. Lets have windfall tax on hollywood where the windfall profits are really at, but we know the democrats cant steal from people to spread their leftist message.

You are being snookered into fighting the Oil companies, no matter what taxes imposed on them they will get out of paying.
The real culprit is former texas senator as chairman of the Senate banking committee'Foreclosure Phil' Gramm who has bankrupted Middle America.

First thing is to close the Enron Loophole.

The problem is American corporations are not re-investing in America, our manufacturing base is rapidly deteriorating, blue and white collar jobs that once made up the core of our employment have been moved or outsourced to other countries, we are no longer leading the world in new technologies

Our countries tax base is dependant on employment our national debt is $9,388,211,346,017.67 The estimated population of the United States is 304,193,441 so each citizen's share of this debt is $30,862.64.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.45 billion per day since September 28, 2007! The estimated population of the United States is 304,193,441 so each citizen's share of this debt is $30,862.64.

Our US trade deficit increased to $60.9 billion in April despite the weak dollar

The war in Iraq is costing $400 million a day or $12 billion a month and over 4,000 of our young people have lost their lives

So let’s keep on fighting among ourselves instead of talking about ways to save our country, I am not snookered into fighting with the oil companies we need to deal with the problems our elected public servants are not dealing with

Something similar to this has already been said. But, I feel it bears repeating. The reason we have no refineries is because environmentalists, fought against them. It might harm the ever hiding endangered cave snail. Environmentalists are normally helped by the Democratic Party.

nasty anti-capitalist Environmentalists have prevented your air from looking like Beijing.....
