So, yeah, it’s Tax the Millionaires time.

Try financing a 30 year mortgage with credit card interest rates. If you had excellent credit, you might have been able to get a 16 percent rate.

It created a savings and loan and housing mess similar to todays due to people who were not able to afford their absurdly unaffordable loans and homes.

Defaults, and foreclosures skyrocketed, housing prices tumbled, people walked away from their committments.

Sound Familiar?

Ah, the good ole Carter Days.

It is ironic that anti-Obamas latch onto the stupidest element in the Obama Energy Plan, and claim it is the only viable proposal in his bag of tricks.

I know you people can google, so if you were not alive during the Carter years, or can’t remember, do a little research before you make fools of yourselves. Obama should heed that advice as well.

Carter’s plan was bad, and had a bad outcome, but Obama’s plan is worse.

“Obama’s plan does not copy the tax enacted under President Carter in 1980, which imposed huge administrative burdens — and retarded domestic oil production. Mr. Carter’s tax was levied per-barrel, so it directly increased the marginal cost of producing crude — and made figuring out which barrels to tax ridiculously complicated.”

“Obama wants a surtax on net oil company profits above a “reasonable” level. The tax would be set high enough to raise $65 billion over the next five years, and the revenue would fund a one-shot tax rebate that Mr. Obama would like to give to families and individuals this year.”

“Making Exxon surrender money that is now falling into its lap would not necessarily affect its longer-term plans or incentives. Indeed, some of Big Oil’s “windfall” ALREADY will go to the government: The more profit the companies earn, the more corporate income tax they pay. But to add a five-year tax increase on top of that to pay for a one-year gift to voters will increase the cost of doing business. That cost will be passed along in forgone investment in new production, lower dividends for pension funds and other shareholders, and higher prices at the pump — thus socking it to the consumers whom the plan is supposed to help.”

“If oil prices fall, (as they are now)there might be no windfall profits to tax. Then the Obama rebate would have to be paid for through spending cuts, taxes on something else or borrowing.”

If Obama were serious about creating energy independence, Obama should stick to his plan to increase alternative sources of energy. And, he needs to include increasing use of clean coal technology, clean burning CNG, and go nuclear, and include ALL offshore drilling options.

And, Obama needs to outline the road that gets us there. What tax incentives does he have now? Let individuals and industry directly invest in US energy independence.

Obama wants to take money away from individuals and industry, give it to congress, and let congress decide where to spend it.

Oh yeah, that’s a real good plan. NOT!

Nope Obama is no Carter. He’s much worse!

“Check any McCain ad.”?

No quotes?

No Links?

I guess I must have missed the McCain ad that referenced the newly minted North Dakota oil millionares, the Alaska Oil Dividend for residents, and the Louisiana TOPS college tuition program.

Apparantly you are not just stupid, you are LAZY and stupid. Maybe you should just vote for Obambi with the rest of the LAZY STUPID people.

Good luck with that as the IRS only goes after little biz.

WTF!

And oil companies pay a huge amount of taxes.

McCain didn’t vote for the Bush-Cheney Energy Disaster.

I don’t trust oil companies, but there is a science to their business and like all corporations they are in business to make a profit.

They are two very different things – regulating price and windfall taxes.

You clearly don’t understand the differences between the two.

Maybe you should take a look at the insurance industry by way of contrasting and

study what you’re discussing.

So, the oil companies take the less expensive route to deal with unrefined crude oil and ship it to the highest bidder for refinement anywhere in the world.

Here in the Center’s press shop, we’ve fielded a lot of calls today from reporters wondering where Barack Obama’s campaign is getting the numbers to back up its latest charge against John McCain: that the Republican is “in the pocket” of the oil industry because his campaign has taken $2 million from it. The TV ad that makes that claim started airing today, and in tiny print it cites as its data source the Center for Responsive Politics (as well as the Washington Post, though the ad doesn’t make it clear that CRP and the Post are two separate sources).
Here’s what’s confusing people: On OpenSecrets.org we show John McCain receiving $1,332,033 from oil and gas interests from the start of his presidential campaign through June 30. (On the same page, we show Barack Obama receiving $394,465, a stat the Obama ad doesn’t mention, not surprisingly.) In McCain’s case, that’s well below the $2 million that Obama is trying to pin on him. So where does that number come from?
