You're a Democrat and Democrats are the LARGEST impediment to energy independence in this country.
Special interests such as the radical environmentalists are just one of the many destructive special interests that OWN the Democrat Party.
When you smell NIMBY, you are smelling Democrat shit for the most part drifting back in your face. Especially wealthy Democrats.[/b]
So, you are a Republican. McCain is a Republican. So you must support what he thinks.
That's basically what you are trying to pin on me. Not all Democrats are NIMBY people.
There is nothing to prove to you.
Oil companies have a lower margin than many other businesses. Then their products are taxed to death at varying and numerous intervals during the consumer chain.
What the fuck else is there to talk about? The most highly regulated and taxed industry in the US is the oil and energy business.
That is ALL the fault of liberals. People like you.
Democrats have a plethora of policies they want to institute that will make energy even far more expensive.
Where the fuck is the public debate on all of this? It's non-existent. That is one of the biggest shames and scams in the history of this country.
Nice. COMPLETELY avoid my request. You didn't talk about income tax at ALL.
It never seems convenient for liberals to talk about all the taxes levied on a commodity used and needed by the public on a daily basis. It might make someone think liberals are taking advantage of the public.
Funny. I was comparing income tax to income tax. And you say it's not convenient. You would rather me compare Exxon's COMPLETE tax burden with an individuals income tax? Talk about an unfair comparison...
Who cares about tax brackets? Smart rich people aren't included in tax brackets.
The only people who care about tax brackets are people who pay income tax rates and withholding taxes.
Rich people don't pay "income tax" rates. They are not that stupid. That is why they are rich.

Must not include many conservatives then...because they seem to be the biggest whiners on taxes.
(My apologies to conservatives...I don't think you are stupid...but that was just too easy.)
When asshole socialist politicians of your party talk about taxes, they are talking about taxing people who pay income taxes.... not rich people.
I tell you what Madman...when you can prove I'm a registered Democrat (I'm not), I'll accept that argument.
