Sure he is Harry. Sure he is. The blame for the price of oil doesn't reside with politicians, current or past. The blame resides with us. Eisboch I think a steep "excess profits tax" would tighten things up a hair, that and members representing the public and responsible to it sitting on big oil boards. |

Eisboch Oversight and pressure, and the excess profits tax could be used to help non-profit entities unaffiliated with big oil develop alternative energy sources. Wistful thinking. Despite your protests, industry drives innovation and technical development, not "non-profit" centers staffed with lifelong members of academia making a living on government grants. I've been exposed to both for many, many years. Industry is what makes things happen and imposing more taxes on it simply slows things down. Eisboch |

Eisboch Tax would just be passed onto the consumer, the US average Joe filling up to go to work. Companies could not pass that tax on abroad for very long, making the US company less competitive. Gasoline has not increase in those countries you mentioned like it has in the US. The real answer is to get the Fed currency management on a tight leash. |

Eisboch I think a steep "excess profits tax" would tighten things up a hair, that and members representing the public and responsible to it sitting on big oil boards. Excess profits in what terms? Straight dollars, or percentage? It really wouldn't matter. Unlike the vast majority of businesses, crude oil is priced by a gambling parlor. Even if you (and I mean YOU specifically) could somehow control the profits of the oil companies, they still have to buy crude at prices determined by sheer lunacy. |

"Big Oil" helps set the price of the crude it buys. You think it doesn't have "partners" sitting on the OPEC committees? |
