Re: Haut vs Big Oil

No, there isn't.


And now you see the problem.



That is absolutely not true.

When you kool down ponder the following: Move next to your work in proximity to the hostbital or near a bus line, or wherever you have to be. Walk to work, ride the bus to the hostbital, row yer boat. You can make many choices to change the impact of fuel to your situation. You are just not thinking clearly.

Even if I didn't drive I would still be paying for fuel. Every product sold in every store in the united states is delivered using fossil fuels.

True, so use less fuel impacted products, grow your own food, make changes in yer lifestyle. I would like to buy yer motor.

Furthermore, most people are required to drive to work every day, as well as many other places that are required to go to live your life.

ZmOZ, MOVE NEAR A BUS OR NEAR WORK OR GET A DIFFERENT JOB.

It is not a choice.

YES ZmOz it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

I choose to buy inefficient vehicles because I make a comfortable living and I can afford it.

That ZmOz is choice!!!!!

What about my friend steve who makes $7.50/hour? It takes him 2 hours every day just to pay for the gas he needs to get to work! It simply should not take 25% of a person's income to buy necessary fuel.

He needs to move near his work or get a better job!!!!

You make it sound like anyone can just pick a job and sign up for it. It doesn't work that way in the real world. Most people are stuck where they are, not by choice. Especially those making minimum wage.

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Yes, but your government is 100% to blame for that. When the same governent tried to tax us we said screw you and started our own country.

But it is a choice. Get an education or move, you have a choice. I moved to Nebraska so I could afford a house. I made a choice. And I'm not regretting it.

How is that irrelivant? Our fuel is not cheap, your fuel is just absurdly expensive. If you don't like it maybe you should start voting differently.

But it is a choice. Get an education or move, you have a choice. I moved to Nebraska so I could afford a house. I made a choice. And I'm not regretting it.

That just does not work for everyone. There are millions of people in this country who are forced to buy fuel for thousands of different reasons. If you don't believe that you're simply an idiot.

It wouldn't be so bad if the prices didn't change as fast as a baby goes thru diapers.

I choose to use electric so I can be entertained by ya'll

You're missing the point completely. You're talking about taxes, not fuel.

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

Hi All

i fail to see what you are all whining about gas prices here in england for that amount of fuel 1 Gallon, would cost us nearly 4 pound sterling so it would be nearly 8 dollars and ya'all whine at 3 dollars

our fuel is charged by the litre and its in some places 1 pound for a litre that would be 2 dollars

so come run your boats and trucks over here then you got something to moan about

So do what the Frogs just did. Kick out the socialists and hopefully all their social programs with them. Then they would not need the confiscatory taxes that your government charges you. As far as I understand, with the North Sea oil, England is self sufficient in petro. You are letting the Queen rape you so she can provide the neer do wells with all they won't pony up for themselves.

And we just keep electing them here. Easier said than done Boom.This is not a left vs right issue. It's a world issue.

But the crying libs can't get a grasp on it. We are hooked on oil and will continue to be for quite awhile to come.

Re: Haut vs Big Oil

What a thread.

Z,

Dude, you have a boat that gets what, 3mpg and you are complaining about getting to the doctor because of gas prices.

Also, based on you earlier post if the Oil companies made zero profit your 98 dollar tank of gas would run around 90-91 dollars. Eight bucks and KIZ is out of work. Neat.

Try going to a bank lay out your business plan and tell them your "Goal" is to gross an 8% profit. Be prepared for the laughing from the men in suits across the table.

Why is it when gas goes up it is the greedy oil companies when the government is making 5-8 times as much per gallon than said oil companies? I usually knock off the big branches before I cut off the leaves. I imagine your concern is the cost out of pocket for gas, where is your anger with those that are truely profiteers.

Profits in dollars are not representative of risk. The billions and billions of dollars invested in infrastructure, the liabilities, the instability and elasticity of the market, and remember each dollar is taxed AGAIN. Just because demand continues to grow the percentages remain constant and results in record profits. Who's fault is that? Let me get this straight, if you sell more of your product you are not entitled to greater profits even if you drop your profit margins. Neat.

If you were to own stock and a communistic/democrat government told you that you were only entitled to so many dollars, what would happen to your stock value? Who owns these stocks? When you sell your devalued stock and put the funds elsewhere, what happens to the profit and value of the company? And what will they have to do to regain solvency? You might as well cut off your own nose.

Government control, could anyone be more rediculous.

My age is totally irrelivant to this discussion. Obviously I've learned more in 21 years than you have in however long you've been around. You still haven't learned to read english. I think it's funny how old farts always resort to that when they have no logical arguement to make.

no sorry your missing my point your fuel a gallon is
cheap compared to ours and maybe most of the planet

Well, as you say, your point is irrelivant to this discussion. Again, you're talking about taxes, not fuel. And would it kill you to use a little punctuation?

Dude, you have a boat that gets what, 3mpg and you are complaining about getting to the doctor because of gas prices.

I haven't used my boat in 2 years. It doesn't matter what I use the gas for, a ridiculous price is a ridiculous price. I'm not talking about ME, I'm talking about americans in general. They all are REQUIRED to use gas in order to live. You can't buy a box of corn flakes without using gas, even if you walked to the store. Just like electricity. Why is it ok for the government to control the price of electricity and not gasoline? What's the difference? You realize people own stock in electric companies too, right?

Also, based on you earlier post if the Oil companies made zero profit your 98 dollar tank of gas would run around 90-91 dollars. Eight bucks and KIZ is out of work. Neat.

Bull****. Not long ago gas was $2. Now it's $3.40 and rising. They were making a profit at $2. Now who's pocketing that extra $1.40 a gallon?

Try going to a bank lay out your business plan and tell them your "Goal" is to gross an 8% profit. Be prepared for the laughing from the men in suits across the table.

They wouldn't laugh if 8% translated into several billion dollars every three months.

In other words you don't know what you're talking about.
