Gee, If you tax the **** out of the oil companies, what do you think the
chances are that the oil companies will pass the increased cost of business
on to the consumer?

They live under the mistaken idea that corporations pay taxes (which
fits in nicely with their idea that corporations will sell products at
a net loss). The fact is, the consumer pays all of a corporation's
taxes, salaries, benefits and bonuses... But then these people also
think that the government has and/or generates its own money (and
doesn't acquire that money by taking it from the citizens).

You're really wasting your breath explaining these facts to the
lib-tard Cliff and his commie cohorts. They know full well the truth,
it just doesn't fit their agenda, so they make up crap, spin the truth,
and dribble nonsense in a feeble attempt to advance their agenda.

This is why I finally just dropped Cliff and those like him into my
long term commie-kill-file with a resounding pinko.
