As I recall, the cost of fuel makes up the major portion of the cost of aircraft ownership and operation. You've never owned an airplane, have you? As long as the government continues to subsidize profiteering oil companies, and fails to impose a windfall profits tax and/or price controls as was done in the '70s, the cost of living will increase in proportion to the obscene oilmens' profits. And don't forget, that our government is letting our currency, the US dollar, continue its plunge in value, thus further reducing the purchasing power of US workers. So while baby Bush and the sheiks hug and kiss, the American populace loses ground on the financial front, and Halliburton moves to Dubai to escape taxation on their non-competitive government contract profits. Umm, sorry to break up your little tantrum with facts, but Halliburton is moving to Dubai because that is where the oil is today. That's exactly what happened when the oil companies moved their headquarters to Texas. Profits made from U.S. of America will still be taxed by U.S. of America, just like any other company in the world. What specific companies would you like to see contracted instead? Welcome to the land of government of the people, by the corporations, and for the corporations. And thanks for voting for that sniveling nepotistic who is squandering our hard earned tax dollars at the rate of $3 billion a week on a pointless war while irrationally supporting the right of a zygote to Constitutional protections, irrationally obstructing embryonic stem cell research Relax. There are bans on stem cell research. There are only bans on using federal tax dollars, which a few phrases above you were claiming were being spent too often anyway. |

There are bans on stem cell research. Oops, should read, there are no bans on doing stem cell research, doh! There are only bans on using federal tax dollars, which a few phrases above you were claiming were being spent too often anyway. |
