Are you suggesting that the oil companies are exporting oil that should go to domestic consumption thereby driving up the price?
Pelosi is a complete idiot as is anyone from that G-d forsaken city who supports here. Still waiting for that earthquake...
I am suggesting that the oil is on federal lands, OUR lands.
This is the equivalent of someone buying water rights on your personal property, while you are thirsting to death and they are selling it to the highest bidder while you are struggling to buy it somewhere else.
At some point wouldn’t you penalize them for not giving you at least first opportunity to purchase or suffer a penalty for selling to someone other than yourself.
I am NOT saying the government should own the oil, I am not saying the government should TELL the oil companies what to do with their oil. I am saying there is nothing wrong with an export tax.
At what rate would you set the tax?
What is the purpose of taxing these exports?
Can you foresee any bad side effects?
Warren Buffett lost one billion dollars in 2008 speculating on oil. CNN anchors were saying $200-400 barrel prices were coming.
Barack is quite content with $5 a gallon gas.
Nancy Pelosi
“Speculators”....She is Lying.
Remember..”You Have to Pass the Bill before We get to see whats in it”....She should have been Imprisoned just for that Lie.
Then there is the absurd...”Unemployment checks are Stimulating the Economy”...Only a Moron Democrat would swallow that Crap.
and also Her comment that She didn’t know about the WaterBoarding....another Lie to the American People.
She must be distracted getting her Family and Friends
rich off the Treasure Island Ripoff.
and dont forget Her Resturants and Winery dont allow Unions.....
Her comments may be cartoonish, but they will be accepted by many in the electorate and she may very well be speaker once again.
IMHO
They are not stupid. They work (in well-organized unison) to scare us into letting them "solve" all problems (real or falsified) by confiscating freedom and property, and installing themselves as the benevolent protectors against the free-market boogiepersons.
