I was working out at the gym and
Fox News Channel was
on one of the TVs and I saw that the Republicans in the Senate blocked
the Democrat effort to get a windfall profits tax on oil companies
levied (story
here).
Bravo to the Senate Republicans! Are the Democrats actually so
oblivious that they don't realize that passing such a tax would only
increase gasoline prices further? Can they really be that naive? On
FNC, they were interviewing the corrupt Democrat senator from New
Jersey (that really all goes without saying, ever since Bill Bradley,
every Democrat senator from New Jersey has been corrupt) Robert
Menendez. That guy actually had the gall to say "oh no! the oil
companies wouldn't pass along the costs of a windfall profits to the
consumer." The guy is either a moron or incredibly dishonest. My
suspicion is that he is both.
