WASHINGTON (AP) - Declaring a new direction in energy policy, the House on Saturday approved $16 billion in taxes on oil companies, while providing billions of dollars in tax breaks and incentives for renewable energy and conservation efforts.

Unless you are a tin-foil hat wearing, kool-aid guzzeling, liberal kook, you understand that the government already steals from the American consumer, $2 for every $1 of profit the oil companies earn on a gallon of gas. That's right! Thanks to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, federal gas taxes have increased dramatically. They are the reason gas costs so much. In fact, when the price at the pump goes up, so do the revenues to the government. Tax revenues are tied to price not consumption. But the democrats want to blame the greedy oil companies, because gullible, stupid Americans who resent anybody who earns more money then they do, want to be taken care of by their loving and benevolent government nannies. Well, congratulations Americans, that's exactly what you've gotten. Your government, stealing earnings from stock-holders to use in vote-buying schemes to remain in power.
I'm going to go vomit now.
