Obama says "fuck you oil companies"[views:6658][posts:21]________________________________________ [May 6,2011 7:56pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05...ama-calls-for-end-of-oil-subsidies/ I bet the oil companies will raise prices in an effort to get Obama out of the white house and install an oil friendly president in there but then again the president is just a figurehead, a symbol of the class who controls us and exploits us. |

As long as it stands, the oil companies are only paying on 72.5% of their income (before even dealing with the other recent tax breaks). I'd love to see him try to apply a windfall/clawback tax to the same companies on their outrageous incomes in the past decade, but I won't be holding my breath. |

| _____________________________ [May 6,2011 10:34pm - pam ""] Can we do all of that, except just burn Monsanto to the ground? |

Gonna cut off one sleeve of my leather and drift from town to town, emptying Frialators and wasting dudes with pink mohawks and mesh shirts. Maybe get a dog. |
