Asswipe Joe Barton just said on CSPAN that companies

[notadmblnd]

pay 3 or 4 dollars taxes on 1 dollar of oil. Now I ask- does this make sense? Why the hell are they in business if they make no money?

1. Barton has oil in his veins.

He gets transfusions on a regular basis from the Big Oil bidness.

2. If true.....I say double it.

3. Joe Barton is spreading the new meme

and the stoopid who are FAUX viewers will be repeating that shit verbatim.

[madokie]

4. Yea their profits shows him to be a liar

I'm sure no one called him on it though

[notadmblnd]

5. he was called a liar a couple of times and he did not like it

One guy called him a leach and a liar and hurt his feelings.

7. Good

weasels have thin skins I guess

6. Reminds me of when gas stations would post little signs saying:

"40 cents out of every gallon of gas goes to government taxes."

Anything to stoke up anger and resentment at the government, deflecting blame from the real thieves, the gas and oil companies.

8. More BS from a tired old oil whore.......
