Taxes and Big Oil
Not that this surprises me, but republicans have blocked any sort of windfall taxes on Big Oil. Of course not only do we pay sales tax on gas, we also pay extra state taxes on it, and extra federal taxes on it. But heaven forbid any extra taxes on Big Oil, who makes record profits just about every quarter these days.
So who do you think members of congress look out for - people or corporations?
Revolution, people, revolution...
