Russia is CUTTING Taxes on Oil Companies to Find Even More Oil. Why are Dems Raising Taxes on Oil Companies?

Russian oil companies have not had the ';Windfall'; profits like Bush's freinds haveRussia is CUTTING Taxes on Oil Companies to Find Even More Oil. Why are Dems Raising Taxes on Oil Companies?
Big oil in America has a very poor track record when it comes to trying to encourage them to increase their production. When huge tax credits were given to Mobile after the embargo - the purpose was clearly to increase exploration and drilling - instead, they bought a department store chain. This prompted one representative to sarcastically ask if they planned on drilling in the lingerie isle.......


I am not a democrat, but I have no problem with nailing these greedy companies with a hefty tax on their ridiculous profits. If they can't keep the money from their $4 plus a gallon retail prices, perhaps they'll be inclined to not be so quick to mug the public at the pumps.Russia is CUTTING Taxes on Oil Companies to Find Even More Oil.

You honestly don't think that taxes should be raised on oil companies?





How many trillions of dollars of profit (not income) have they made this year? How many billions of dollars do they need to find more oil? Do you actually believe they are not looking for more oil because they don't have enough money?





Anyways I thought the democrats just wanted to remove the billions in tax subsidies they are receiving from tax payers? A subsidy to oil companies is the last thing I want my tax dollars going to!
Maybe it's because Russian oil companies are government owned or pretending not to be.





OpenMind if you are so open minded here's a website you should read that will change your mind once you educate yourself about oil economics. www.theoildrum.com
By all means, move to Russia if you don't like it. Why does Bush keep giving our tax dollars to the oil corporations and then wants more of our tax dollars to give to them while the oil corporations bleed us dry at the gas pump?


If oil corporations want more oil then let them use their record profits to fund the drilling on the leases they already have but don't use.
Because they are trying to get elected. Instead of fixing problems, the Dems are trying to blame the oil companies in order to get votes, despite the fact that both they and the Republicans have had 30 years to fix this problem.
Your asking why democrats are raising taxes. Thats the first answer to all problems if your a lib. Tax them into oblivion. That will fix everything.
Fact based link......I thought not...

Hmmm. Maybe they aren't communists after all. Maybe the dems are capitalists. Is that what you meant?
so, give the oil companies money... to do something that would drop their profits...





something tells me that the plan won't work... strange ';delays'; will crop up...
Why are you so anxious to emulate Russia?
Because even with Putin, Russians are smarter than Dems.
'cause they want the demand for oil decrease
