Thought for the day.............

You all watched (or heard about) the Senate hearings last week at which 'Chuck-You' Schumer and other life long political hacks railed at the evil Oil Men and their obscene profits....

Here is a set of facts ---

The per gallon profit for these oil companies during these good times is about 8¢!!! Yep - eight cents.

The taxes imposed on us per gallon by Federal and State governments is about 47¢!!! Yep, forty-seven cents ----

Six times as much as the profit the oil company makes, and the gob'mint doesn't explore, drill, ship, refine, or deliver to the pumps.. They just stand there at the pumps with a gun on their hip making us pay up!!!

Don't it make you feel proud of our Senators and their demagoguery ?

Microsoft and Starbucks make more net profit, percentage-wise, than the oil companies for crying out loud.

If you want to get mad, get mad at the Congress and White House for assuming we, the unwashed public, are so durned stupid that we believe their lies, pandering, and pompous windbagging...... or perhaps - is that the problem..................that too many of us do believe them?
