Senator: SO.. If we remove your subsidies, will that make the price of oil go down?
Big Oil: Senator, we don't receive subsidies.
Senator: .. will that make the price of oil go down?
Big Oil: .. no.
Senator: You big companies never fail. You always win. You don't understand. People are hungry. We want to feed them. Can't you see that?
pbatusa: Senator.. You tax big oil now for like.. forty-one percent of their gross income. and.. the people are hungry. You can tax big oil at 100% and you know what? .. the people will still be hungry.. because the money big government gets from them doesn't go to feed the people; it goes to feed your agenda.. in one form or another..
Senator: This man is out-of-order!
Big Oil: No. This man says what we all feel.
Senator: This man needs to be removed from the floor.
pbatusa: Perhaps! if you Tax Big Oil LESS and remove several layers of worthless REGULATIONS, they may use that revenue to HIRE people, that they me (buy their own food) and then .. Oh .. ya... then they wouldn't need big government... sorry.. you're right.. my-bad ..
Senator: remove this man! He's ruining my charade.
Big Oil: Raining on your parade?
Senator: That too! .. Now.. about those taxes.
