Here is a lefty air head as seen on the moveon.org site.



She obviously thinks that high, or increased taxes on the oil companies helps "The Little Guy." Its never occured to her that oil companies don't pay taxes, they just pass them along to the consumer ... the very people the Air Head would like to help.

It is a concept which some people just cannot fathom....corporations have to maintain a profit margin...they pass along any increase in the cost of conducting business right along to the consumer.
The consumer is the one having to pay higher prices(taxes)...duhhhh?
It is inconceivable to me that anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time cannot comprehend this basic fact of our economy!!!
Holy Macaroni!

Maybe we should just tax the excess profits they are making at the present. Aren't taxes based on profit after operating expenses, so the only reason to pass it on is to make more profit, How much is enough I ask?

Anyone who so desires, can purchase the stock of these oil companies and enjoy these "excess profits"!
The notion that these companies need to be penalized in some way is downright silly....why doesn't the government reduce it's tax at the pump? The government does not produce one drop of petrol, yet they charge the consumer more per gallon than the retail gas stations make per gallon!
How is this fact not worthy of criticism?
If oil companies are greedy, the government's take is certainly much greedier, because they do nothing to bring this gasoline to the consumer!

Any income tax increase will result in even higher prices....great idea!

Tell that to some minimum wage worker with kids he has to feed and is paying 3.00+ for gas to get to and from work. You right wingnuts seem to forget about the average man that works for a living and is barely making it. Like everyone can just go out and buy oil stocks, how fucking ridiculous!

med, you are certainly entitled to inhabit the land of make believe you exist in, but it must get exhausting seeing things thru your prism of negativity.
Things are not as bleak as you so desperately perceive and insist!
Try reading some economic news!

The economic news that you are referring to is most emphatically tuned to the stock investors and the business and corporate owners. The average joe is losing his hold on middle class by leaps and bounds. There are more home forclosures now than in any time in recent history. So maybe it is you who are not seeing things clearly. How fucking negative would it be to you if they were forclosing on your home. I personally don't know anyone that is better off now than when Clinton was president and that includes a few business owner friends that have cut back. You must live in a pool of Bush supporters that are bulletproof to the recession. Take a look at the real world, the one where people are getting layed off, having their jobs (the ones that used to pay 20.00 an hr) transfered offshore to 1.50 an hr workers. Yeah I'm fucking negative. The economy for the workers is negative also. If you haven't been affected, count yourself as lucky. It's good news for stockholders, but that is a low percentage of workers, they have cashed in their stocks to make their house payments. As soon as my investments come in, (a cool Million bucks) I'll join you at the trough!

$5 a trade on e-trade Med... check it out.

also, the foreclosure trend is due to over indulgence, not any national economic status. bratty, materialistic people over extend themselves so they can be perceived a certain way.

as far as this whole, "the world is caving in" stuff, the people i know are doing better now, myself included. the only workers suffering are overpaid union workers and it serves them right for being greedy and demanding too much.

Is it typical here to insult the person instead of criticising their politics? That's a real argument winner. :roll:

Would the 'air-head lefty' win her argument with you by calling you an 'authoritarian, fascist, elitist cockhead?'

There's plenty of smart lefties out there who think that profit is OK but tax burdens should be shared fairly by all. In fact, lefties are usually far more educated and score more highly on IQ tests than antediluvian, precopernican obscurantists (g'wan, get your dictionary, I dare you. :) ).

That's because the lefty air-heads design the freakin' tests! I bet if you asked one of those lofty college perfessers what number is on the bottom of a die when the six is on top, they couldn't answer the freakin' question in a hundred years. By the way Al B. Fuct ... what color is the two ball? *lol*

Hey Med ... Let's tax the bejeezes out of corporate profits ... that way more of them will move off shore. That should help all those little people you keep talking about, right?

Hi Al, welcome to the forum!
How is your name calling any different from what you accused Vi of doing? Where is your substance? BTW, I did not need to use a dictionary to understand your insults, which in no way advance your point! IMO, they undermine it! Specious name calling devoid of rational thought!

Any income tax increase on corporations will cost the consumer more.
It is quite simple!
How is this incorrect....?

I didn't call him a name- I asked him if calling him names would win an argument in the same way he thinks calling names at other wins arguments for him.

I won't spend any more time on this thread- it's clear that there's not a battle of wits to be had.

Hi Al,
I did not say that you called Vi a name .....you simply disparaged your political opposition with convenient simplistic names, thereby allowing you to avoid any substantive debate...it should be about ideas, not labels that you seem so willing to affix to those who disagree with you....too bad you are incapable of defending your obvious left leaning perspective.
:peace: :joint:

Hey, A.L. ... stick around. Med O'Donell has been finding it lonely in here as late. He could use the company of another flame thrower.

That should be Bush with the chain saw, He's fucked the economy to the bone. The only ones doing well are the ones making over 100K a year.
