Reply #15: You quote Ben Stein?

I can't believe you quote an article by that tool of the bush-bots. Next time just quote Fox news. We all know how fair and balanced they are, and you obvious preference for RW propagandists would be more evident.

You know the excessive profits the oil companies are making could not be made without the assistance of our lap-dog congress and money hungry bush* administration. Let's see, maybe congress could regulate them, take back those oil subsidies or even make them pay the 7 billion in royalties. I bet their profits wouldn't be so high without good old congress feeding them tax giveaways.

Not to mention how free this wonderful commodities markets is suppose to be that is regulating the price. Let's see we make sure they trade in dollars and every time some Saudi prince threatens to sell in euros, some economists screams how this will ruin the dollar, and the US threatens them. Yeah those "free" markets that PPT rigs whenever the market looks like it will go into a "correction".

Next thing you know, you will be quoting the Tax Foundation.. Oh wait, you did.
