Incredible; the only word I have to describe the latest developments in recent politics. BH Obama is now proposing a $15B tax on big oil. Has this guy ever worked in the private sector? In his Utopian view, we should all reap huge benefits after he fleeces our retired and soon-to-be retired of their 401k plans because the government deserves to be that much richer. Only problem is, our retirement checks are dependent on the profitability of Big Oil (unless you still subscribe to the notion that Social Security will cover your retirement expenses). If you want to question this last statement, I ask that you review your 401k prospectus before insulting yourselves with commentary...
One more stupid question for you wanna-be socialists out there...if I owned Bazooka chewing gum and sold each piece for $.05, and the government decided to tax chewing gum 10%, should I change my price to $.06 per piece to maintain the same level of profitability? Should I suck up the tax increase and subsequently lower my profit? If your family's livelihood was on the line, what would you do?
It appalls me that we have people in this country (land of the free and the home of the brave) who actually support the socialist ideas currently proposed by the libs; eg...take the profits from our companies that are obviously engaged in capitalism, and, unlike in Robin Hood, give to the corrupt government entities so that this body may spend YOUR money in a manner that suits the collective...when they pry freedom from my cold, dead hands! Tree huggers, we are about to wage war on your uneducated masses!
