Yep, you Libs would always like to see more taxes regardless of what that taxation does to the country’s economy or, more specifically, to the people who have to pay it out.

I do have one question though.

Why is it that oil company profits are considered to be a “bad” thing?

is this supposed to be shocking ? what do you estimate the price of gas is going to be in 2030 ?
As it is now the Federal tax as a percentage of what I pay at the pump is what 5% ? I would rather see the last 2 DOLLAR increase to have been in taxes rather than in profits as the tax is specifically designated to be used to repair our nation;s highways which are in bad shape.

Meanwhile China is doing the complete opposite. It’s using profits and taxes to visably (they are still paying world prices for oil) LOWER the cost of gasoline to something like $2.65 a gallon. So 1.6 billion people use more oil/gasoline while 300 million use less.
