Be Thankful for Big Oil

Congress has picked "Big Oil" as their enemy of the week. These companies inexplicably put profits above people, ravaging the environment and financially assaulting the poor to put another couple of dollars on their balance sheet. That's the storyline we've all been taught.

Yes, times are tough for many. Sure, oil companies make a lot of cash. But, for that money, they get us to work, get ambulances to the hospital, keep our homes warm, and employ thousands of our friends and neighbors while financing their retirement, paying their health care, and providing energy to millions. Because of capitalism, they have the incentive to do that. I've yet to see what our government does for us with their rather large chunk of each gallon of gas we buy, and I've yet to see them offer to return it or suggest a gas-tax-windfall-tax-tax.

An excellent common sense article. BTW even if you dont want to, click the link cause it will really annoy the CNN people to have the most clicked on article being a Glenn Beck article.

When you get in your car and drive to where you are going, where do you think the oil comes from that produces the gas that makes your car run?

It is not from a government program, and it was not produced because any Democrat took a shovel and dicovered a new oil well

Depsite all the sets of handcuffs Dems and enviro wackos have put on the oil comapnaues, they are still keeping up with demand and keeping America running
