How about a tax on shysters like Durbin and Obama?

It seems to me tha when Dorgan was talking about his before he claimed that if they spent so much on exploration and development it wouldn’t apply.  I find that amusing in that Dorgan’s done what he could to restrict them from doing so in ANWR and off the coasts.  I also think (but not sure) that he’s been against oil shale as well.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Dorgan and Conrad both voted to invoke cloture, which means they at least supported more debate and probably supported the full bill. Cloture failed, 51-43,not the 60 votes necessary.

And they also voted for the $1.6 billion tax breaks for lawyers.

Great representation for North Dakota.

If the bill passes, I’ll predict a 3 dollar jump on the price of oil. I’m just saying.

Johnny Depp made $92 million last year. How come we never hear these socialists in Congress decry the “excess profits” of Hollywood movie stars?

No one needs to be paid more that $500,000 to make a movie. Where’s the regulatory legislation for this? Think of all the homeless children they could cloths and feed by taxing excess movie profits.

Bruce,

Just to make your comparison clearer, Mr. Depp made just about 50 times more than the $1.6 million salary earned by Mr. David O’Reilly, Chairman and CEO of Chevron, and over 17 times the $5.1 million in total compensation earned by Rex Tillerson, head of Exxon-Mobil.

Odd, we don’t see idiots like Dick Durbin and Bernie Sanders, or simple minded partisan hacks like Dorgan and Schumer screaming about Mr. Depp’s enormous pay package.
