‘”Why doesn’t he raise taxes on the oil companies first?” Waxman suggested.”

Thank you for posting that POS’s comment.
someone should ask waxman how just taxing the oil compnaies will add more jobs versus how many more jobs, GOOD paying jobs, get added with increased drilling

RE: Waxman's idiotic comment (and really: what else would you expect from him?):

Somebody tell him that by allowing oil companies to drill more, we create jobs. Those employees pay taxes. Their employers pay their half of the payroll taxes. They profit. Profit is taxed. Revenue is increased. His chances for re-election go up (the only downer in the whole thing).
