Hillary Clinton's Opinion on Oil Company Profits

[jcscuba]

The cost of refined oil to the U.S. is still less than just about any place in the world. The fact that demand is driving up the price should not bother a capitalist. Sure I hate having to pay $2.50 a gallon for gas in CA. I travel the 3rd world frequently. China, Indonesia, South East Asia, Malaysia, are all in the midst of hugh explosions in their standards of living, thus using petrolium. The fact that this woman as the absolute gall to stand up and say I want the oil company's profits for alternative fuel for the future is of couse a good political sound bite, but much more revealing is her Marxist mentality. Vote No for Hillary Marx in 08 and profits will continue to generate. There will still be opportunities if she wins for those of us in the private sector, I'm currently looking into selling barf bags and and barf buckets!

No kidding, the barf bags better be at least 55 gallon sizes. Hillary is a Marxist through and through, heck even Joseph Stalin would cringe if he saw how Hillary is fooling most of America and remaking her image to slither her way in...all in the name of "peace" as well, weird, I've heard that somewhere before.

Mr. Scuba, I think she should take the profits and use them for health care. The Oil companies wouldn't be so profitable if they weren't tied in with the Bush Administration!

"The Oil companies wouldn't be so profitable if they weren't tied in with the Bush Administration!"

And there are alot of companies that wouldn't have been as profitable as they were if Clinton had not been elected such as Tyson, Loral, Hughes, the Lippo Group, even Enron since Clinton put pressure on India to build an Enron power plant. Yes, Enron contributed alot of money to Clinton as well. What about all those trade junkets that Hillary arranged? Businessmen that contributed to Bill Clinton were allowed seats on the trade junket. The Clintons are the classic example of quid quo pro.

Mr. Schaffler: Agree, however, many more companies large and small did extraordinarily well, as did the economy during the Clinton Administration. His ideals are proof that you can have big government and prosperity all around. At least he didn't spend billions of dollars on this stupid war with Iraq. What's wrong with trade junkets? I'm for free trade unlike most Democrats, I see the value in that. Cheers, Jennifer

Jennifer,

The economy was good inspite of Clinton. He had nothing to do with it. If the Clintons had gotten away with their health care scheme, we would not have had the good economy that we did. The Republican controlled Congress also acted more responsibly with a Democrat in the White House than they have acted with Bush in the White House. They prevented much of the big spending and big tax program the Clintons supported. We would have not had the good economy we had if the Clintons would have been able to spend and tax the way they wanted. The economy was also spurred by the high tech industry and the Fed's lowering of interest rates, so I can't see how the Clintons had anything to do with the good economy of the 90's.

And lets not forget that for the last year of Clinton's presidency the economy was in a recession that was the shortest and least damaging in history due to "W's" tax cuts.

Concerning the trade junkets, they were Hillary's idea for raising campaign cash. This is not free trade, this comes closer to mercantilism when you benefit some companies at the expense of others, that is, benefitting the ones that contribute the most money to your campaign.
