    EVERYONE in this thread needs to read this column:

    http://www.townhall.com/opinion/colu...03/174128.html

    I will bet my next week's pay that not 10% of you folks understand the nature of economics in this matter, of profits vs. profit margins, and the global market in respect to the rise and fall of oil prices.

    Before you cheer going off to plunder some company's profits, READ.

    Politicians are relying on your ignorance in this precedent-setting power-grab. DO NOT LET THEM.

    Congress will be happy to have the companies 'give back to the people'.

    Because 'giving back to the people' actually means 'the people are letting us confiscate your profits and that means more money for us to buy votes with'.

    The only good politician is one with a fucking gun to his head. God, it's issues like these that really squeeze my cheese.

    Just a hearing to shutup all the bitchers, thats it. They'll probably have a long drawn out investigation, just to shut up the complainers.
