Ok, you give me a 36 Billion dollar profit. Now you tell me I cannot spend it on doing things that will help me make more money.

Then you tell me that I am making too much money.

That is what happened to Exxon. They cannot use their profits for things like energy exploration or building refineries. They have a large pool of capital.

I guess giving 400 mil to a retiring President makes sense since there is nothing else they can do with thier money.

If they are stupid enough to come up with a "windfall" profit tax, we should force them to make it retroactive and pay fines and penalties. Guess who else would be paying a "profit" tax? Shareholders and mutual fund owners!! (The Teachers Union has alot of money invested in these funds through their retirement accounts)

It is very frustrating that the Republican Party has abdicated all of their power to the Democrats. The Republicans do not know who to run the Country, as bad as they want to they do not understand using Power.
They should be out in front, putting the blame on the Democrats at every turn, they should expose the delay and confusion caused by the Democrats. We need a leader like Newt Gingrich. Now before you start yelling, Newt knows how to get things done. He won't sit around, and let the Dems control the agenda. Arlan would be back in as a county attorney. But we need someone that is not afraid to call a spade a spade.
