That's the GOP for you. Not unilaterally renegging on contracts and trying to act as if they never existed. If you want to change the structure of new leases going forward, that's legit. This would be like Governor Walker demanding all retired employees pay the state an additional percentage for every year they worked in order to keep their retirment benefits. I'm sure you're all for that.
Who said anything about renegging on contracts? Contracts can be honored or renegotiated. So, how do you feel about big oil, with its billions in profits and bonuses, getting your tax dollars?
Yeah this is not contract renegging like with the teachers/public workers unions up north.
It is only wrong to reneg on contracts with corporations not the working class.
It is Gospel Buddy, If you really do not think the oil Companies will find a way to pass the costs along to us, then you are the fucking Idiot.
You do realize we get far more than Just Gas from Oil right? You don't think they can bump up the price of Motor oil, or tar for Roads, or anyone of the hundreds of other products that come from Oil?
Really?
Hey I know why don't you call me some more names again. That will make you feel better.
So you can't prove your bogus claim? That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for playing.
Y O U F A I L
Keep thinking you won something Buddy.
Everyone that actually uses their Brains, and not just Emotions, Knows beyond a Doubt that if you cause the Cost of Getting oil to go up for the Oil Companys that they will undoubtedly raise prices on their Products, Not just Gas, but all the hundreds of Products the Oil is part of.
So thank you too, for playing.
At least you made one post with out childish Name calling, I commend you for that at least.

Still waiting on that link to your bogus claim. All I keep getting is your opinion.
So you are saying the "MARKET" does not control oil prices, the oil monopoly can charge whatever they damn well please because there is no competition in the oil industry.Keep thinking you won something Buddy.

I told you it was my Opinion there bud, why don't you try explaining to me how an Oil Company is not going to raise it's prices on the things it can, if you take away their Subsidies? Or do you think they would just eat the new higher cost of doing business?
Really?
Forbes was on Fox News today.
Forbes was appalled at what Obama and his voicebox Secretary of Energy Salazar are doing.
These idiots have effectively shut down all domestic Oil & Gas drilling of all type....offshore and in-country while our Oil & Gas prices are going thru the roof......and there is every indication that the troubles in the Mid East will result in a fantastic CATASTROPHE !!!
As I understand it, we have enough Oil & Gas resources to be independent from the Mid East Oily Sheiks, and enemies of America like the scoundrel Hugo Chavez, etc.....
YET, OBAMA and his IDIOTIC VOICEBOX SALAZAR HAVE SHUT DOWN THE ISSUANCE OF ALL, OR PRACTICALY ALL, THE PERMITS FOR OIL & GAS DRILLING , OF ALL KINDS IN AMERICA !!!
The moratorium on Off-shore Gas drilling has ended......yet, with all the troubles brewing in the mid East...with that area about to explode......what does Obama do ???? He iinstructed his idiot voice-box Salazar NOT TO ISSUE THE PERMITS FOR OIL & GAS DRILLING !!!!
And what do I read in this bogus thread ????
A conglomeration of retarded Obamarrhoidal LibTURDS howling and yowling about Oil subsidies when our Nation being a hostage to the Mid East Sheiks and scoundrels like Hugo Chavez is about to have cars blocks and blocks long, wrapped around the gas stations.....creating what happened in the 70s or 80s a fucking joke.
Google the following.....and read the articles:
"Secretary of Energy Salazar."
That's the GOP for you. They vote to cut programs and funding for organisations that benefit women and poor families, but stand behind their corporate overlords by voting unanimously to keep millions in tax payer subsidies for oils companies that rake in billions in profits and give away millions in bonuses.
ThinkProgress » House GOP Says ‘So Be It’ To Taxpayers, Votes Unanimously to Protect Big Oil Subsidies
House Republicans voted in lockstep this afternoon to protect corporate welfare for Big Oil, even as they call for draconian cuts to programs that everyday Americans depend on each day. As the House of Representatives moved toward approving a stopgap resolution to avert a government shutdown for another two weeks, Democrats offered a motion to recommit that would have stripped the five largest oil companies of taxpayer subsidies, saving tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer funds. The motion failed on a vote of 176-249, with all Republicans voting against (approximately a dozen Democrats joined the GOP). A similar vote two weeks ago to recoup $53 billion in taxpayer funds from Big Oil was also voted down, largely along party lines. The former CEO of Shell Oil, John Hoffmeister, recently said Big Oil doesn’t need subsidies “in face of sustained high oil prices.” From 2005 to 2009, the largest oil companies have made a combined $485 billion in profits.
Translation, GOP votes to help keep Oil Prices from Rising any Further.
Oh how horrible of them.

The government shouldn't be interfering with the prices of commodities. Price ceilings on gasoline is what caused the shortages under Nixon. The OP has a valid point. We also shouldn't be giving special tax privileges to one industry, but not others. It's not fair competition. Furthermore, the oil industry is huge and there is no reason for it to be the beneficiary of corporate welfare.

Gasoline is now $3.99 per gallon in Oaklantown. With unemployment still well above 12%, let's increase gasoline prices even more by increasing taxes on oil companies! That should hasten the double dip recession and help fulfill Obama's campaign promise that energy prices would skyrocket.

And this, the gas prices, has to do with the tax payer subsidies how?

The overall cost structure of the oil business. If the government changes the tax deal and increases their costs, oil companies will raise prices - just like they do when the barrel price goes up.
