Techsans was also a lot less egotistical and annoying without you posting...

Ok... so not Exxon, but along the same lines. Here is an excerpt of an interview between Wolf Blitzer and Chevron Corp. CEO David O'Reilly.

Blitzer: You know that Barack Obama says if he's president, he wants a windfall profits tax. He wants to take a chunk of your profits right now and give it back to the American people. John McCain opposes that, as you know. So I assume you would like to see John McCain elected president?

O'Reilly: Well, I would like to see no windfall profit tax. And I will tell you why. First of all, we are already heavily taxed as an industry. Our tax rates last year were at 45 percent, compared with in the 30s for the average of all industry.

Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, we're investing the money. If you take the money away, it will reduce investment, reduce supply and have exactly the opposite effect of helping the problem that you have referred to.

And, thirdly, we have done it before. We have had windfall profit taxes. Congress has studied them about 30 years ago. And what happened under those circumstances is supplies dropped domestically, and we became even more dependent on imported oil. You don't want to do that today.

Blitzer: Here's how Sen. Obama put it. Listen to this.

Obama (in a video clip): Sen. McCain wants to give billions of dollars in tax breaks to Big Oil and opposes a windfall profits tax on oil companies like Exxon to help families struggling with high energy costs. I think that is exactly why we need to change Washington.

Blitzer: So, I guess, given the stark difference when it comes to Big Oil between Obama and McCain -- let me rephrase the question -- do you want McCain to be elected?

O'Reilly: I want someone to be elected who will help resolve our energy crisis. And I don't know enough about Sen. Obama's position or Sen. McCain's position to pass judgment on either one of them.

What I do know, though, is that if we want to solve this problem of high energy prices, we're going to have to work not only in the demand side, as Congress has done with [Corporate Average Fuel Economy] standards and alternatives, but we're going to have to work on the supply as well.

Blitzer: Do you want offshore drilling to be approved on both coasts and in the Gulf, which Sen. McCain now says is a good idea?

O'Reilly: I do think that's a good idea. Today, our shores, except for the gulf off Texas and Mississippi and so forth, are off-limits today. So, look, Europeans who are very environmentally conscious -- the British, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Dutch -- they can allow sensible offshore production from their oceans. Why can't we? See where drilling is allowed, banned

Since we have -- over the last 20 years, domestic production has steadily declined -- and we have been more and more dependent on imports. We definitely need to do something about it. We don't know yet how much oil is under there, but we should at least be given the opportunity to look.

drilling in ANWR is like a fat man drilling another hole in his belt, and he's running out of belt, and it takes seven years to drill the hole. he'd do a lot better to lose weight. i think the alaska issue is dead in the water from the get go. isnt the oil estimation where they want to set up less than what the US consumes in a month? i dont remember the exact number

Wow that's a stupid analogy. It doesn't even work in your favor. Because if the fat man doesn't start drilling the hole, but then also doesn't lose the weight, he's screwed.

I love how you just assimilate to whatever view the liberal politicians tell you to. What have all the democrats said today about drilling? "Well it won't help right now." "Well it'll take five years to have any effect."

SO WHAT!?!??

What happens when koombaya hasn't happened five years from now and we haven't replaced all 600 million passenger vehicles on the planet with some dream machine that you think will be developed by then? Are the democrat dipshits gonna say the same thing five years from now? "Well it won't help because it'll take five years to have any effect." The fuckers can't think past their own damn two year term. They're too afraid to be publicly seen agreeing with George Bush on an issue (which means they don't get re-elected) that they're willing to flush a reasonable plan for some relief down the toilet. This doesn't even cost the government or taxpayers any money!

Here's an analogy for ya: You're on a sinking ship, and you think someone is coming to help you so you don't bother putting on your life vest.

"Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out... and the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporation-y... and they make money."

No Cathryn, Cheney isn't trying to profit off this at all, and the ignorant Americans here who have had the shit scared out of them aren't the ones supporting producing oil domestically

We left the ignorance and being scared part up to you and your ilk

Cathryn lives in this delusional world where she is the only sane person to have ever visited this Web site when in all reality, she is more bat shit crazy than any and all of us combined. This post quoted just proves this. I guess Cathryn is angry that hardly anyone on this site likes her and most wish she would stop posting. No one has asked that of Will.

I don't wish she'd stop posting. Enough people have already left.
