Comments on: Windfall Tax on Retirement Income http://grizzlygroundswell.com/archives/2213 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:12:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Ralph http://grizzlygroundswell.com/archives/2213#comment-104421 Ralph Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:13:11 +0000 http://grizzlygroundswell.com/?p=2213#comment-104421 Clearly speaker Pelosi does not intend to act in the economy's best interest or she would have allowed debate on drill now initiative. Nothing could be more effective in driving down the price of oil and improving wealth and jobs. That she is interested in extratcting more oil from the oil companies is no secret even though the Federal Govt already collects more revenue from the oil companies then they are able to generate in profits. But they have so overspent on at the state level on health care for illegals, unprecedented salary levels for public sector employees, that they want the Federal Govt to pay for issues of state responsibility, because California can't meet their payroll. You can be sure after the oil companies they will tax somebody else, until everybody is taxed so hard that our work ethic will be pushed down to that of the old Soviet Union.

Business does not absorb stupid tax. We do! They pass it along to us after all the whole reason business is in existence is to make a profit, provide jobs for talented people so they can raise their families and provide a useful service. Why the hell do we want to penalize any business? "Big Biz" is not your enemy here. You are your worse enemy. You rationalize theft from those who provide jobs and create wealth and prosperity. I bet you even have these very companies in your retirement investments. I would just like you to see the big picture here. We can agree that Stealing and theft is wrong and especially wrong when done through the mechanism of Government. Just because it is not you (actually it is) it is still wrong! "big" Oil companies will just quit doing business where socialism reigns supreme. Just because the masses have a vote and can be hoodwinked into theft by Government does not make it right! Here is one more salient point. Who do you think is better at innovating and coming up with solutions to our energy needs? Government or "Big" Oil companies? Who has the expertise? Which among them provides a service that on the free market is lucrative? Which among the two only spends and never produces anything but red tape and ineptness? I choose the individual, the big business, and simple common sense. We simply can not let socialists and the weak minded steal from "big" oil or any other citizen for that matter, it is wrong and needs to be stopped. I am awakened, Standing Up and Stepping into Action changing my political landscape in my backyard. Wake up and join us! ~Teddy Bear @Ilene Rachel: Why is it not aimed at us regular “guys”?
