Depending on the cost of living and the weather conditions, some families pay a lot more than others for energy costs.
I don't think oil companies owe us a rebate because a politician says so, but if they did, the flat $1000 wouldn't make sense anyway. How much money is a business allowed to make in the U.S.? I never knew it was controllable by Senators. |

Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich- and Cheat Everyone Else http://tinyurl.com/ydf6r6 / April 18, 2004 One of the country's top investigative reporters reveals how the richest people within the top 1 percent of the country has rigged the tax code and other laws in its favor. Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston has been breaking pieces of this story on the front page of The New York Times for nine years, work for which one business school professor calls him ěthe de facto chief tax enforcement officer of the United Statesî. With Perfectly Legal, he puts the whole shocking narrative together in a way that will stir up media attention and make readers angry about the state of our country. And he has sound advice on what to do. http://www.booknotes.org/Program/... ========== Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (And Stick You with the Bill) January 18, 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston joins us to talk about his new book,“Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (And Stick You with the Bill).” Johnston reveals how government subsidies and new regulations have quietly funneled money from the poor and the middle class to the rich and politically connected. http://www.democracynow.org/2008/1/18/free_lu... |

THE CONSERVATIVE NANNY STATE How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer By Dean Baker / http://tinyurl.com/e7gyr This book is written in frustration and hope. People in the United States who consider themselves progressive must be frustrated over the extent to which conservative political ideologies have managed to dominate public debate about economic policy in the last quarter century. Even when progressives have won important political battles, such as the defeat of efforts to privatize Social Security, they have done so largely without a coherent ideology; rather, this success rested on the public’s recognition that it stood to lose its retirement security with this “reform.” It also helped that the public was suspicious of the motives of the proponents of Social Security privatization. However, success in the goal-line defense of the country’s most important social program is not the same thing as a forward looking agenda. The key flaw in the stance that most progressives have taken on economic issues is that they have accepted a framing whereby conservatives are assumed to support market outcomes, while progressives want to rely on the government. This framing leads progressives to futilely lash out against markets, rather than examining the factors that lead to undesirable market outcomes. The market is just a tool, and in fact a very useful one. It makes no more sense to lash out against markets than to lash out against the wheel. The reality is that conservatives have been quite actively using the power of the government to shape market outcomes in ways that redistribute income upward. However, conservatives have been clever enough to not own up to their role in this process, pretending all along that everything is just the natural working of the market. And, progressives have been foolish enough to go along with this view. The frustration with this futile debate, where conservatives like markets and progressives like government, is the driving force behind this book, along with the hope that new thinking is possible. We shall see. http://www.conservativenannystate.org/cns.htm... |

The Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy: Summary of Industry Giveaways in the 2005 Energy Bill http://tinyurl.com/n7ofd On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into the law the energy bill; on July 28,the U.S. House of Representatives voted 275 to 156 to approve the energy bill; and on July 29, the U.S. Senate voted 74 to 26 to approve the energy bill. Since 2001, energy corporations have showered federal politicians with $115 million in campaign contributions—with three-quarters of that amount going to Republicans. This cash helped secure energy companies and their lobbyists exclusive, private access to lawmakers, starting with Vice-President Dick Cheney’s Energy Task Force, whose report provided the foundation of the energy bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on August 8. http://www.citizen.org/cmep/energy_enviro_nuc... |

BOTH parties are on the oil take
WAKE UP! Let's talk big oil money The royal family of Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton facility in Little Rock about $10 million. That probably isn't in your stats. And yet all we hear about is rep big oil money? A quote from Hillary; "The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them. It’s time we had a president who stands up for all of you.” Money from.......... U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, during her January 8 victory speech <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ ... after the New Hampshire primary. “$220,550 The amount Clinton has raised *from **oil and gas companies*, according to the Center for Responsive Politics <http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp ... Saudi money is plentiful. It's spend pretty evenly across the bread. Google Oscar Wyatt and his money to the dems. |

Do you care about the price of oil?
Does Nancy care about you? House Dems turn out the lights but GOP keeps talking Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats adjourned the House and turned off the lights and killed the microphones, but Republicans are still on the floor talking gas prices. Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m. and are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess At one point, the lights went off in the House and the microphones were turned off in the chamber, meaning Republicans were talking in the dark. But as Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz..) was speaking, the lights went back on, and the microphones have been turned on as well. But C-SPAN, which has no control over the cameras in the chamber, has stopped broadcasting the House floor, meaning no one is witnessing this except the assembled Republicans, their aides, and one Democrat, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who has now left. Only about a half-dozen Republicans were on the floor when this began, but the crowd has grown to about 20 now, according to Patrick O'Connor. This is the people's House," Rep, Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) said. "This is not Pelosi's politiburo." |

1 Do your kids really need new clothes for school? Nancy sent her "class" home for the summer without addressing the oil prices. It would be a good time to give these people a call. Tell them istead of sending anymore campaign donations, you need the money to get to work. http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_informa... |

TEXAS REPUBLICAN SENATOR PHIL GRAMM & ENRON MANIPULATING OIL PRICES./ Michael Greenberger, Former Director, Commodities Future Trading Commission 1997-1999. Michael Greenberger discusses the role of unregulated oil speculators on the buying and selling of oil futures.

Most if not all Bush Republican supporters are not conservatives. They are Neo-Cons who are apologist for the wealthiest top 1% percentile.

Obama has no core values or principles that guide him, except arrogance, an inflated self-worth, handlers and polls.

1 How about this, instead of buying your beer and cigarettes this month, take that money and invest in oil company stocks. Anyone is allowed to invest in these public companies. It is not an exclusive club. Oh, and by the way, Obama will say and do anything to be elected, even something as foolish as this idea to get the votes of the dumb Americans who really believe that this will get them some free money. |
