Reply #1: This will be another devious act from our great leader

that will get swept under the rug. bush will not mention the tax breaks oilies are getting, nor the fact that Europe pays higher gas taxes which makes their gas cost more than ours. Our cost is nearly pure profit to the oilies. I heard ours is taxed about 15%. Actually I thought all the environmental regs had been eased already, this is probably doing away with any sign of regs. You can bet the refineries, etc., will build quickly while there are no regulations to interfere with their profits.

Edit: Oh, he will not allow a windfall profit tax either.
