What’s even dumber are the voters who believe him and do their part to give him a 2nd term.

Cut the tax breaks other businesses get, and you drive up operating costs. Guess who will wind up paying those operating costs.
It will be added to the cost of the products we buy.
This is such a simple concept. Of course it does reveal that Obama and his flying monkeys have not given up on driving gas prices to $8.00 a gallon, if they can get four more years.

LOL...I certainly am not taking credit for it...there are likely hundreds of other Freepers who express that exact sentiment!

On this general topic, huge swaths of the populace seem entirely ignorant of basic supply and demand concepts and truisms.
And they vote. That so many who are so clueless can affect the rest of us in such terrible ways is extremely frustrating and maddening.

I keep it so I can post it at appropriate times. I copied it and passed it around work about three years ago and the libs went crazy.

Increasing taxes on oil companies will RAISE the price of gasoline. Reducing the taxes on oil companies and distributors (at the pump) will DECREASE the price of gasoline.

Barry Soetoro is a complete moron.
It would be nice if we had someone - anyone - in the WH that had a little background in Finance, Economics, and Accounting. Why should the President choose which companies/industries to deny "breaks" to? BEACUSE HE AND HIS LEFTIES HATE OIL AND ALL CARBON BASED FUEL, WHICH RUN THE ECONOMIES OF THE PLANET. His ideal is based on a fantasy, and he believes if he does enough speechifying these utopian dreams can be made to come true. And they indeed might work, but not at a cost that anyone can afford.

Mr. Obama called for that solution as a candidate in 2008 when gasoline prices neared $4 per gallon,...Where was gasoline near $4 per gallon in 2008?

This is an opportunity and a grand one. There are similar tax “breaks” for the motion picture industry, GE, Wall Street, etc.
Look at where Obama gets his money and hit him back with a proposal to remove tax “breaks” specific to those industries. I particularly believe a focus on the motion picure industry would be best. They’ve got some accounting magic that is criminal.

I agree, but with an important proviso. End tax breaks for the oil companies while ending all drilling restrictions, both on and off-shore. Absolutely not. End drilling restrictions without increasing taxes on oil companies.

Even the dumbest dork knows that this is total BS.
It is now not a matter of words but of HIS deeds.

I’ve worked here in the oilfields in Texas all my life, it is lunacy in it’s purest form to think that the oil companies will just “soak it up”. Any increase in taxes will be passed on DIRECTLY to consumers. Of course if your intent is to destroy America,and get paid to do it, its a “twofer”

Idiot doesn’t have the sense to realize that companies do not pay taxes. If you get rid of tax breaks thus raising taxes on the company they will pass that on to the consumer and then we see gas prices go UP. Obozo is part of the problem, not the solution.
