WTF?! Our Oil Dirt Cheap!

I’m not gonna source this as it is just a observation and well reality, but who is the genius that came up with these TWO stupid schemes? Oh right, it was Big Oil and their lapdog Our Government.

Federal Fuel Tax (think it is called Federal Excise Tax, but whatever) is a set rate per gallon. HELLO! is anyone paying attention, what other tax is there that we have that is set based on a unit price? Do you buy milk and are taxed by the gallon, or is it based on a set percentage of the price per gallon? Do you buy a car, doesn’t matter which car or its price and it is a set amount per unit car? No!

Same deal with oil YOU & I own found under OUR public lands, or OUR coastal waters. That’s right, no matter what the going rate is for oil, you know that $100 plus per barrel we hear of every day, OUR government gives it away to Big Oil for a set price of roughly $18 dollar per barrel!

Think of it this way, you own a store and have 1000 cases of Spam, made back in the 30’s when all of it was made, and that is all you sell. Now you have been selling them for decades and started selling it at 50 cents per can back in 1930. Fast forward 78 years and you are forced to sell it for 50 cents a can regardless of what the neighboring shops are selling it for at 3-5 times the price and regardless of what the cost of operating a store is (rent, utilities, inflation, wages, etc). Now do you think you are gonna be able to stay in business?

What a joke! And no wonder we are owing $10 trillion dollars, or over $30,000 for each and every one of us.

Only in America! …….

Our National Resources are given away at 1900 prices, if not paid to be taken away, through subsidies or infrastructure development.

No Bid Contracts dominate most government contracts.

We consider a “Gas tax Holiday” actually amounting to something in our pockets and not just a pander for votes.

Seriously, our citizenry is some of the dumbest mother fuckers to have ever existed!

Wake up people!
