It’s the Oil Stupid!

Senate Democrats, unquestionably the least intelligent being walking the Earth today, have decided that American’s aren’t paying enough for gas.  With the price over $4 per gallon these mental midgets in the Senate want to institute a windfall profits tax on oil companies where congress will set what it thinks is an acceptable profit and then tax anything over that by 25%.  We’ve been down this road before and it failed miserably but Democrats, never willing to admit socialism a failure, won’t let that get in the way.

None of these Democrats have ever run a successful business so they are the last people on the planet who should determine what is acceptable profit for any business.  Aside from that they want to throw all the money from this boondoggle away more alternative energy failures like wind and solar.  I know many believe that wind and solar are great but the reality is that we have thrown away billions of dollars in the last thirty years trying to make this technology viable and it’s not.  The bottom line is that we need to increase supply and we need to increase refining capacity.

This plan, probably not even constitutional, will do nothing but increase the price at the pump because this is a cost of doing business and those costs will be passed on.  Why is it that Democrats refuse to learn from their failures, most people make mistakes, learn from them and move on.  Not so for congressional Democrats, they’re just not that intelligent.
