lol @ myspace

hey whoa dont blame me there buddy. i merely asked a question, even still i dont disagree with your point cos i went and read up on the subject.

your missing the point. besides why do you care how much they make, if they made 30% less this yr then last yr whould that give you more money? no. and corporate taxes should be lower ... could be lower.... so if you should be upset at money wasted it should be at our corporate taxes. rather then bantering on about how rich oil companies are. if that were the case you'd have to be upset at how much pro altheletes make.

why dont you get upset at how high our corp tax is, duhh jobs are gonna go outside the us if WE make it cheaper to do so via corp. tax which is for fact the 2nd highest in the world why not lower that a bit and use what would have been taxed to bolster local cities/ communities? dont be angry at someone for prospering and enabling ppl to put food on their tables for thier families *edited i suckzor at typing*

quote some website- "Existing global trading patterns primarily reflect the result of buyers and sellers responding to market forces to get each type of crude oil from where it is produced to where it is most valued, accounting for the cost of transportation. That is, trade flows at any point in time are largely a result of the relative advantages in transportation costs and buyers’ preferences for different qualities of crude oils. However, because buyers and sellers can and do substitute one type of oil for another, specific trading patterns are not crucial to evaluating supply and demand or pricing. For example, if the supply of crude oil from a source were cut off – regardless of whether that oil flowed to the United States – competition from buyers for the world’s remaining supplies would drive up all oil prices. Alternatively, if a country decided to cut off shipments of oil to the United States but maintained its production, there would be relatively little long-term impact on price. (This is, of course, holding aside any price changes due to an increase in geopolitical risk or smaller influences, such as shifting transportation and refining patterns.)" even though i hate bush he cant possibly be responsible for prices since he doesnt influence the market for oil and its actually good that oil companies profit or any company for that matter. it results in them keeping people employed and that reduces unemployment and when that number shrinks ppl stop their bit*hing and a low unemployment rate adds fuel to a consumer's confidence along with several other things. so i dont have to copy and paste it all, this is the website i just finished reading and it provides a good overall explination as to why oil and gas prices are the way they are its a good read if you dont know the mechanics of it. http://www.factsonfuel.org/gasoline/OilPrimer.pdf

agreed bush has no fault in it, enough flaming him. he will be gone soon and Mcain will take his place and do better. i just need to move to a place where cost of living isnt so bad. or get a better job

LOL about that... my mom drives a prius and one day when working on my car joe and... i forget who else was with me but we drove my mom's prius to adv auto for some tools, well when leaving the light comming out of the plaza is a long one and turning yellow not wanting to wait i floored it, which was a joke cos it practiacally didnt do anything, but i made the light and took the 110 degree turn on the inside lane with no tire squeel or protest in anyway from the car or its tires and i looked in my rearview to see joe flying latterally across the bench seat lol. found out why it didnt do much, it has a 500lb battery under the trunk. ps. thats the last car i would own

not whining, just more or less wondering is the hype making it seem worse, which thats what it looks like or was/is it a reasonable concern.

meh i get crappy gas milage. like 19mpg its expensive

oil is around $107 a barrel now... and gas is already 3.60 around here i might have to buy a stoopid honda or somthing to beat up cos gas is projected atleast for around here to be 3.80-4.00 a gal by april !! what are you guys gonna do about prices, or is anyone else here gonna have to revise their budgets to allow a 4 dollar a gallon gas price?
