Next time you fill up your car/truck/boat/whatever, you should thank

It's a high stakes, very risky business and expensive oil is a lot
better than no oil at all. Think about it. After you get done
complaining about prices here, do some traveling in Europe.

Please show me where I complained about the cost of gasoline. I
didn't. They made money and didn't pay taxes on it. You seem to feel
they should continue to get a subsidy, apparently.

With all due respect, you are making things up to support your point
of view.

So, basically, you can't. Seems to me you're the one "making things
up" to support your right wing view. Does that mean you're a liar?

We should all feel sorry for the oil companies, according to Wayne, and
we should bend over even further as they relieve our wallets of cash.

You (and D'Plume) have your personal, political and social agendas
confused with the facts. My advice to you is keep your cash and do
without the oil. It's a win-win situation - more cash for you, more
oil for everyone else.

Your view of the world is too simplistic for my taste. While I am
offended by oil company profiteering, I am more offended by oil company
tax breaks. As I have stated previously, we need to restructure how we
allow our depletable natural resources to be extracted...and consumed.

That certainly worked well for Saudia Arabia when they did it in the
1970s. Unfortunately we are importers not exporters.

Is it your position that no company should profit?

Really, so when the right-leaning Supreme Court rules that big
companies like ATT can essentially cheat people in mass numbers out of
small amounts and have a sentence in 4pt type buried in the agreement
about arbitration being the only avenue for reimbursement, that's ok
with you.

Wayne you are delusional if you think that big oil isn't licking their
collective chops at the prospect of subsidies, tax breaks, and an $18B
profit (and that's IN THREE MONTHS).

Wayne, do you remember when Harry thought any boat larger than 23'
should have a large surcharge tax, since they were burning gas
needlessly? Now Harry wants everyone to believe that he purchased a
large Sports-fisher Boat
