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.
