Crowder showed the Fed and state taxes plus two eco-wacko fees for CA. $1.18 p. gal. The oil company got something like $1.49. The rest of the cost was transportation and retail IIRC.

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren Says...”

Fauxcahontas says so much !@#$%... I need to know NONE of it.

She’s NOT quotable; I have stones in my yard with more brains than she has. I should get paid to have to even acknowledge that this story was written. Warren should be PAYING me to stay alive on my planet; she’s creating a negative energy vortex full of stupid that has the average IQ depressed for a radius of 8.3 miles.

Her solution is communism. This is a step in that direction. Tax profits, eventually nationalize industries, and USA becomes Venezuela: that’s the goal.

So is it cancel gas taxes or dramatically raise gas tax? Rats are so confused.

They were going to tax the hell out of gas and on ICE cars to force people to switch to EVs.

And when that happens, they will tax the hell out of electricity.

This is why there is no such thing as corporate taxes. This bitch is too stupid to understand something as fundamental as that concept.

This is really bad, thanks alot Turtle boy McConnell for not fighting back and allowing an obvious stolen election to pass. The domestic enemy psychopaths are going to succeed in razing this country into 3rd world status and they are doing it by purposely getting fuel costs as high as they possibly can while they steal the midterms as well because the RINO party has done zero about election integrity

How is she going to tax them if she bans them? Or is the taxation a means to further bankrupt them? Companies make no profit from oil, OPEC does. Good grief.

They reduced mobility under covid... o wait, biden was not in office then.
Every dem i talk to knows 3 things for sure. 1. Nothing biden has done has caused price hikes 2. Its the oil companies, because it cant be because of a 7 percent decrease in supply 3.going after the oil companies will fix it.
You cant change their minds by asking reasonable questions.. one even said the oil companies kept prices low under trump because they are right wing and because russia.
The dems will not lose a single voter over this.
Heck, their math is.. its a 7 pecercent loss of supply and more than a 7bpercent increase in price.
Trying to tell them russias entire contribution to the world is driving it too.
Of course.. here we have a person who has been sitting on a broken oil well until we start hurting enough to make it worth repairing. Dems will love that confirmation.

The great fallacy and disconnect on increased taxes is that government will use the money efficiently and effectively. Government, as it exists presently, is simply incapable of doing anything of that nature. Government at every level is a bloated, wasteful, corrupt, ineffective, and inefficient entity. It’s the worst vehicle to try to accomplish just about anything positive. The sad truth is our national government is a cancer that is killing America. Americans need to wake up to that fact.

Anyone ever notice that this woman is always mean and angry? Literally it is 24/7 with her. Is she so obtuse not to be aware there might be a problem?
