It doesn’t matter what Ford says. He’ll still vote for Obama even though he spouts the proper economic philosophy. He’ll still vote for the socialist....
As everyone should know by now, the 99%’s demand for higher taxes on the wealthy (including evil Big Oil) has nothing to do with lowering prices or raising revenues.
It’s all about FAIRNESS (which is the Left’s euphemism for ENVY).
> Calling for higher taxes may bring applause at partisan political events
The only people who could applaud higher taxes are self-perceived beneficiaries of same or those that have enough tax shelters and lawyers to allow them to keep their opulent wealth.
What's the old saying???? "Businesses do not pay taxes, their customers do."
Taxes, cost of materials, costs of processing, cost of delivery, cost of labor for all businesses are added up not just for oil companies, but all companies. They then add their markup (profit) and that's the sales price to the customer. When you raise their taxes (or any other cost) they have to pass it on to their customers......or go out of business.
So what Obama is really saying when he wants to take away the "subsidy" being paid to the oil companies, what he really is trying to do is raise our prices at the pump (to European levels).
I think Junior's either positioning himself for an always-looking-for-a-government position Ford-family member or...
he's telegraphing to Obama that he needs to "drop the pose."
If it's the latter and Obama does so--in positioning himself against his foe in the general--it's to blur the differences in basic economic and energy policies...
as does evil always sidle up to good.
He had one of the most liberal voting records in the House.
Same old Jr., panders to bipartisanship on the talk circuit but always voted with the extreme left.
He was supposed to be “Obama” four years before Obama, having delivered the keynote address the same as The Won did four years after him.
