Just remember that the state and federal taxes on a gallon of gas is about 7 times the profit that the oil company makes.
The oil company makes about 7 cents profit on a gallon of gas.
State and federal taxes combined average 48 cents per gallon.
So I ask you who is the one that is profiting from "big oil"?
Who is the one raking in the cash generated by the hard work and investment of private industry?

It is absolutely frightening that an American Secretary of State is willing to be so candid about the lefts agenda. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." Norman Thomas, American socialist (six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America)

I want to take those profits? That is one of the sickest statements I have ever heard. Imagine if you had a small business, even a lemonade stand that made a whole lotta money. Then, a politician said I want to take your profits and do something else with it. I am no fan of big oil but when somebody says, I want to take... Now that is scary.

WTF?????? clinton's idea: "lets take money from a business BECAUSE they worked hard and earned it. i DONT CARE how much you disagree with the 15 billion in profits while we pay 3.50 a gallon at the pump... that idea is called COMMUNISM. spreading around the wealth when no one earned it but the company.
Cliffnotes on Clinton: Hillary wants to tax the wealthy, HARDER-working upper class so that the bums who are too lazy to get off their asses and work at mcdonalds can recieve a check in the mail

I think the snippers might have grazed her head on this one. Take the profits away from the oil companies? Are you sure she is mentally o.k.? this sounds like a 12 year old kids idea.

People need to understand that the owners of a corporation are the SHAREHOLDERS. If you own stocks or mutual funds containing these companies then you are part of the corporation that she is criticizing. She wants to take money from millions of ordinary citizens from around the world just to get herself into office.
Why do the democrats always demonize wealth

Democrats: good slogans, bad ideas. How is the money to be spent? Who decides which alternative fuels are most efficient and deserve the most money? Who are the scientists who will work on it?
Because these are complicated issues, we cannot just jump willy nilly into government-cheese just because it feels good. There is no better innovater than the free market, and no better stagnater than centralized planning. Remember it.
