The reality I think is that even if they don't import they still trade/buy/sell on the open market gas/diesel.You may think you're buying gas/oil from somewhere else than the MidEast but not likely the case.

Sounds like a plan!

I'm not sure if congress is really that stupid or they think that we are that stupid.....but to offer up a solution to high gas prices in the form of a tax on the oil companies? Who do they think will end up paying for that tax? Sure as heck won't come out of their 10% profit..... it will be tacked on to what we pay for gas! And speaking of 10% profit......which the gov. calls "obscene".......I'm a Renovation/Remodeling Contractor and if all I made was 10% profit I would have quit a long time ago......if I dip below 40% on any given job I go back thru the quote and look to see where I screwed up!

The other day the democrat candidate said in response to a question about high oil prices that prices rose too fast. Implication: High prices are good. Implication: Prices rising faster than a set of government controls allow is bad. Implication: Government is not the problem. Solution: Windfall Profits Tax!
So I was talking with my kooky liberal sister-in-law and, never mind - she's a kook.

I just don't understand people that put faith in the gov....... gov is made up of people....and when people have no incentive to do a good job at work.....ie: "you screw up, you get fired" they tend to not do a good job....think DMV and the Post Office! These are the same people that the left wants in control of our health care! WOW! Health Care at the speed of the DMV and with the personal touch of the Post Office....

Also very true.

To me it's just common sense......but to a vast majority .....it's not. How do you think the left has gotten as far as they have in this country.....because the sheepeople will believe anything they are told. Gov. good....business bad......the problem is....who in the heck do they think made us into the only superpower left on this planet....hint...hint...it sure as heck wasn't the Government! And the sad part is the "sheepeople" are getting ready to put a true "Marxist" in as president.....just because "it's time" and if you appose him your a racist...... I don't give a rats arse about the color of his skin.....it's the color of his politics that scares the she-it out of me! We're going to take those profits....just to make it fair!...Well, what are you going to do with the profits? We'll figure that out later.....the main thing is to make you feel better about the dollar being worth 57 cents we're going to take the profits away from the business that make this country what it is .......YAY......VOTE FOR ME!!! Change for the future! What that really means is that in the future....all you will have left is change!

The 10% may be net vs. your 40% gross. 5% net is considered a good profit.
