Big OIL and Tax Break for the Wealthy

Madame Speaker, When will congress pass legislation to impose Windfall profits taxes on big oil companies and when will congress pass a new tax law to roll back the huge tax breaks for the wealthest Americans? Congress moves at a snails pace as millions of Americans are hurting, why can't Congress meet the immediate needs of those who put them in office to represent hard working Americans?

    When will those big oil companies just stop working and take a permanent vacation?

    Another post from me.

    Why do so many of you think that you will be able to get someone else to pay for what you want, and

    do not understand nothing in our country works that way?

    The simplest way to understand this, is to remember, the American Taxpayer pays for everything!

    I mean really every single thing.

    When taxes are raised on a business, they either go out of business (now how much tax do we

    collect from them) or they stay in business, and they will raise the prices for their products or services to you

    the consumer, which is you the taxpayer, or lower the goods or services to make up for

    their loss.

    When these companies do well, they reinvest, often expand, and hire more people.

    When was the last time a poor person gave you a job?
