Dimocrat strategy= raise taxes, refuse to open new areas to drill, That should reduce fuel prices? I guess I am missing something here! If they think the oil companies are greedy but won’t pass the hike on to consumers? I think all of these folks rode the short schoolbus!

Of course not!

Oil companies made HUGE, or HUGH if you prefer, profits!

They are awash with bucks. Just sitting on tons of money.

That is what businesses do, make tons of money and just sit on it.

The Rich do the same thing. Make tons of money and then just sit on it.

Ready cash. Moolah. Big Bucks. Mucho Dinero.

Money that only politicians, make that liberal politicians, can put to better use.

That is why Big Oil, Big Business and The Rich are so evil. They don't need the money cause all they do is sit on it, or buy jets, yachts, caviar and take tax breaks they don't deserve.

And if gasoline prices go up, it will be because they are just so evil and greedy because everybody knows that gas would be under a dollar if it weren't for their greed./s
