Even More Smoke and Mirrors

WASHINGTON

President Bush on Friday rejected calls in Congress for a tax on oil company profits, saying the industry should reinvest its recent windfalls in finding and producing more energy.

"The temptation in Washington is to tax everything," Bush said in an exchange with reporters in the White House Rose Garden. Rather than for the government to reap the benefit from oil company profits driven by the recent surge in global oil prices, he said, "The answer is for there to be strong re-investment."

"These oil prices are a wakeup call," Bush said. "We're dependent on oil. We need to get off oil."

Let's see here... George Bush, a life-long Texas millionaire and current American President, has rejected any thought to taxing the profits that he, his family and his good buddies are making in the oil industry.

When "look, my mouth is moving again" Bush says the "The temptation in Washington is to tax everything...", what comes out of his moving mouth is blathering nonsense. That's not temptation folks, that's FACT. Washington exists by virtue of taxes, period. Washington has no other means of support, period. For Bush to say that Washington has a "temptation" to tax is ludicrous, a sure and certain sign that "Mr.IQ" Bush is talking "off-script" once again.

George says "We're dependent on oil. We need to get off oil." Anybody out there that believes that George Bush -- or any of his oil loving ilk -- are going to try to wean us off our incredibly profitable (for them) oil habit also believes in the tin man of Oz.

When president "look, my mouth is moving again" Bush says, "Rather than for the government to reap the benefit from oil company profits..." guess who is really benefiting from all those non-taxed profits?

If you actually believe the PR nonsense that the oil companies would invest their profits into finding an energy source that would wipe them out, then you are exactly what the liberals think you are... Stupid.

"These oil prices area wake-up call". Well... DUH!
