Dear Readers:
Let the class warfare begin! Exxon-Mobil released their first quarter returns and it shows they made 10 billion dollars in profits. The bums! Four dollars plus a gallon and rising, those oil barons are living large off our suffering. I just wanted to be part of the demagoguery for the moment. Don't worry though, you will hear worse, if you haven't already.
Here is a little bit of inconvenient truth for you to chew on. First: that is profits for all their enterprises, not just gas. Second: they make on just gas, 8 cents on every dollar. Third: They pay in various taxes from production to finished product 61 cents on every dollar in taxes to various governments from federal to state. Points one through three came from IRS figures. Fourth: Corporations do not pay taxes, the consumers, meaning you, do. So every dime they either took in or spent, came from you.
So what is his majesty Obama's answer to these first quarter returns? He says we should end subsidies to big oil. They amount to billions of dollars. Some more truths. These subsidies are for exploration, the encouragement of. What his majesty is suggesting is we no longer encourage exploration.
Here is what will happen if Obama gets his way, and it is quite possible he will. The House Speaker is echoing those fair share sentiments. What happens is less exploration. What happens is the return of gas lines as there will be less product. Repeating that mantra that corporations do not pay taxes, removing these subsidies will add to the costs of business which will surely as the sun rises in the morning will be passed on to you.
Nothing that the President is proposing will lower the prices, on the contrary they will continue to climb. Nothing he proposes will get us one additional barrel of oil, on the contrary it will tighten supplies, again raising prices. Even though this smacks of economic idiocy, get your arms around the fact that this is by design. The more you are made to suffer the more willing you will be to give up liberties. Remember this, making big oil suffer will not make your life better. Do not fall for this gambit of class warfare. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
