there are more taxes on a gallon of gas than there is profit... tell them to limit the taxs to the profit margin and see what they say thenActually ladies & gentlemen this is not StalinismI it is in fact right out of the Mussolini Italian fascist playbook. The government will determine what is sold, at what price,at what profit margin & so-called excess profits are seized by the state ie a slush fund for crooked politicians. We have seen this crap before & it ends real ugly.
They need to have a reasonable lose board for most of the time-for oil,coal,steel,farming,forestry and every stinkin thing else we try to do!
These people are traitors and should be first tried, then hung on the Capitol Steps for their crimes.
there are more taxes on a gallon of gas than there is profit... tell them to limit the taxs to the profit margin and see what they say thenThe very fact that someone in congress can even suggest this without them being immediately hung from the nearest tree is ample proof that we are done as a free country.
Ping. Now a “reasonable taxes board”, that would make sense.
Anyone of either party that supported something like this, should be targeted for removal.
If a Republican participated, I’d like the Republican party to yank their party affiliation. Instead they’d be more likely to encourage them to run for president in four years.
Wow. The gall is astounding...
First, the oil companies make about 8% while apple pulls 30+%. Second, the gov takes in at least twice the oil company profits in taxes. Third, with Conyers as a sponser he directly attacking his constituents.
It is disgusting.
Just more nonsense From Idiots who don’t know what a profit margin means!
the time for extermination is near
If they start this, it's time to go and clean out the swamp before no one can afford to drive there.
Dead in the water from the first word...MR.speaker...

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Heh...state and Federal Government ALREADY earn more from the sale of a gallon of gas than any oil company...

Perhaps we need a citizens board to “regulate” how much government can profit from taxation!!!
Stalin would be proud......... of Obama’s 5-year plan.

After a hundred million innocent dead in the twentieth century, no liberal is entitled to the slightest consideration, courtesy, or civility. Liberals should be reviled, abominated, spat upon, even beaten, whenever they have the gall to show their faces in the presence of decent people.
Intellectual dishonesty is not merely the hallmark, the metier, the forte, the oeuvre of the liberal, it is the very sine qua non of liberalism. Compared to this, hypocrisy is a mere spear-carrier in the liberal’s limping army of sophistries, prevarication, and false moral equivalences.
The liberal himself somehow manages to suppress awareness of his own detachment from both reality and honesty, and in fact spends great volumes of energy swanning about in high dudgeon, gushing forth banshee wails of rage at the purported dishonesty and malice of his opponents. Spraying poison in all directions like a rabid cobra on meth, the liberal walks closed-minded through a world in which only he is open-minded, bigoted through a world in which only he is tolerant, ignorant through a world in which only he is educated, consumed by rage, hatred, and malice through a world in which only he is kind and nice.
All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the mass murders of Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. It is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.
Dear Lord, help us to drive the left entirely out of political and social power, first in the US, the country You founded, and then across the face of the Earth. Amen.
