I am sick of hearing about “windfall profits” from Obama, Clinton and the Democrats. It promotes the idea of a limited American Dream where you are only allowed to be so successful. I mean really, why should we allow the market to work (sarcasm)?
If you really want to decrease prices, increase competition and supply, allow offshore drilling, open a minuscule part of ANWR, start building nuclear power plants. Since when did Americans become so weak minded that we whine about the effects rather than looking at the cause? We are a nation of problem solvers that has currently shackled itself with with the green handcuffs of hotly disputed global warming. What do we do in response? Blame big bad oil!
If we weren’t so busy wallowing in our own self-pity and playing the blame game, we would notice there are many other companies out there who make profits like big oil, “Big Food” is a great example that Mark Perry has graphed for effect:
If we want to stay the greatest nation in the world, we need to respond to success with greater efforts to succeed, not higher taxes and attempts regulate those who succeed.

Big Oil
by The Right Brothers

We use it, we need it almost as much as air
Dependent on the Middle East and no one seems to care
That billions of barrels of oil are in the ground
And the “freakenvironmentalists” won’t let us get it out
Chorus
So before you go and point your finger covered in gasoline
And whine about their record profits
Remember things aren’t what they seem
Try and educate yourself with the facts or just admit you’re spoiled
If you don’t like it don’t buy it
It’s not the fault of “Big Oil”
We want it, they sell it, what’s not to understand
It’s simple as the law of supply and demand
They’re making just pennies per gallon at the pump /
While the government gets double and the roads still suck
Repeat Chorus
If you wanna keep the price down
But wanna keep the oil in the ground
You can’t have it both ways
That’s economics 101
Class dismissed go have fun
Repeat Chorus
“I am sick of hearing about “windfall profits” from Obama, Clinton and the Democrats.”
Forgot to add McCain.
