cut tax rate on rich oil companies income in exchange they will bring down price of gas?
if gas goes down that means food and everything else should get cheaper
-
I think they would probably just leave the price the same and make more $$ Johnny.

Ive become a fan of the Falcon. You know more than any Nobel Prize winning economist.

majority of citizens request secession from the white house and federal government and take our country back

Correct. Oil is a globally traded commodity, reducing taxes on the oil companies here will not change gas prices IMHO, as supply will dictate cost, as it always does. Unless demand goes down (which it won't), gas prices aren't changing.
*This is paraphrased from GigantorX*
-
well, there is some good logic behind that. my only issues would be A) we already give them billions per year in subsidies B) they are already making billions in profit every year and could lower the cost and still be profitable if they wanted to C) burning fossil fuels is killing this planet

C) Is not a valid point.

The voice of reason and sanity. Thank you sir.

just had a hurricane in new york city bro.
could be a coincidence i suppose.
doubt it though.

Hurricane in New York, therefore Global Warming. Gotcha. ;D

That's like saying, "If Phil Heath has lots of extra steroids, he will most likely give them to smaller guys." Big guys want to get bigger and rich guys wants to get richer.

Actually, what Falcon said is being misinterpreted. One must go beneath the surface of cumbersome words to see his truth. He said that in exchange for lowering taxes, the oil companies would lower the price. So this is a quid pro quo. The actual agreement that would be codified is that if a tax break of x% were given, a gas price reduction of y% would be required. Simply brilliant.
I think I should leave Phoenix for a while and visit North Carolina. It truly is a Mecca for knowledge...
-
How about instead of giving the oil companies a tax break, they just take the state tax off the gallon of gas. I don't know an exact number, but I think the average is .40-.50 cents per gallon depending on what state you're in. They could pay the tax money from the oil companies to the states. Guess that's too easy though.

its extremely, EXTREMELY rare for such a thing to happen..
on a side note..
the increasing ocean temperatures cause an increase in tropical storms and hurricanes.. recently a new study found out that the left over CFC aerosol chemicals in the upper atmosphere are being pushed into the Ozone layer by all these new, strong sstorms, and that is causing more solar radiation to enter the atmosphere, and there goes the vicious cycle.. global warming is a very interesting thing and there are many components of what is going are of that same nature ( vicious cycle, exponential increases in factors, etc)..

I understand, but it HAS happened.
And the Earth goes through global warming and cooling trends on a massive scale. Until we know for sure that this is happening at a rate that has never happened before, you'll excuse me if I remain skeptical.

I am in favor of artificially raising the price gas to over $6 gallon.
1. This will force American to buy smaller more fuel efficient cars.
2. Expedite the use of alternative fuels.
3. Speed up the building of high speed railways and better mass transit.
I fully understand that no elected official would publicly support these items but we need to have forward thinking people running the country.

Go fuck yourself.
No offense.
-
Steve Forbes had 1 thing right...we need a flat tax system, everyone pays the same percentage.
-
Go fuck yourself.
No offense.
again, this is the reaction that I expect. And this is why America is in the position that we are in. $16 Trillion in debt and growing. Yet, no one wants to do what is needed.
Shockwave, what ideas do you propose?

I'm going to continue driving my gas guzzling hot rod because I enjoy it. That was the main point of my post.
Trying to force change down the populous throat before there are viable alternatives is not a good idea IMHO.
Besides, your ideas for reducing the debt are to drive up the cost of fuel?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot bro?
My ideas on reducing the deficit are to cut spending and increase revenue.

I did not say that was my idea for cutting deficit. For that I would call in Ron Paul since I agree with him on most issues. Thanks for posting the Ron Paul farewell speech.

yeah and as i understand it during the last warming trend 99% of all life on earth died. ;D

Lol, well sounds like it's normal then. Not like we're going to be able to stop it if thats what happened. And if thats true, lol @ us being concerned about affecting global warming at all.

I was wrong about the 99% of life going extinct during the warming period. its a lower number. but i dont think humans are able to survive during the warming trend. heres a wikipedia article about it =
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth
-
but as far as being concerned about it-- according to the article we wouldnt go into a warming trend for at leats another few hundred thousand years if it wasnt for man made greenhouse gases.. but because of the man made greenhouse gases we are now moving into a warming trend (at leats thats how it appears)

tropical temperatures at the poles during warming period (no ice whatsoever on the planet)=

Do we have enough evidence to figure out how long the average warming/cooling trend lasts? They're supposedly on the scale of a million years, correct? So how can they possibly have enough data to make this kind of assumption?
Im skeptical anytime something like this comes up, especially with the amount of money people stand to make from the shit associated with this.
-
shift occurs every hundred million years or so.. shift caused by increases/decreases in CO2 levels..
pardon me for the insertion of a wild theory here... but it sounds very much like life on earth keeps on evolving into humans who burn up all the fossil fuels of earlier life and then get killed off by the climate change that occurs as a result... earth stays warm for a while.. then cools off and the process starts all over again ;D

fuck i dont know im sure they are using some kind of dating science like carbon dating.. possibly inaccurate but probably not.. just read that theory i just posted and laugh out loud about it ;D

Either way, sounds like a completely natural process to me. The fact that so many people stand to make so much money from it makes me go "meh".
As for your theory, I lol'd. Maybe instead of Humans, it was super evolved walking, talking, Dinosaurs like in that old TV sitcom.

dinosaurs!!! i loved that show as a kid!!! hahah

taxes are simply passed to consumers as inflated prices

Obama could never do this... he just spent 4 years calling them evil and the devil. If he gave any large corp a break at this point... aside from bankers of course... everyone would know he's full of shit and trickle down works. He painted himself into a corner, now he can't do what could actually fix shit.

I never get why those who produce union free and offer lower prices are evil??
I guess real production makes the bs artist cringe.
