its $2.15 here, and when you take about .40 cents per gallon of State
and Fed taxes off, it could get better, but that's not gonna happen.

That's the irony of the most recent congression hearings into the large
oil company profits.

The oil companies make about 7 1/2% profit. The government makes
almost 20%...but nobody is investigating the government's profits!



Government's "profit?"

Yes, tax revenue is a profit...until the government wastefully spends it
again.





Uh-huh. Is that what you learn on NewsMax?

If revenue comes in, and you don't purchase anything with the revenue, then
what do you call the money that is left over at the end of the year? The
IRS calls it profit.

I just bought 4 Dell computers and $6k worth of dental handpieces because I
wanted to take advantage of my Section 179 tax savings before the year
ended. I could have made it awhile longer on the older equipment, but
*chose* to spend the money now. If I didn't buy the computers and
handpieces, I would have ended the year with an additional $11000 in profit.

Get it?
