Oh, a Democrat plan, wanna bet it involves a tax increase.

Oh, there we go, more oil tax for consumers to pay. Great idea, I knew
the dems would find a way to convince us to tax our way out of this
problems. I sure which a high school econ class were required of
elected officials because if it was no one would say anything as
stupid as "financial incentives for car buys to move to smaller
vehicles". Maybe someone should buy one of these dems a current
newspaper and see what car buys are now buying. I guess that doesn't
count though because the gov't doesn't get to spend other's money if
buys change car buying on their own.

The tax on "excess profits" is so funny. None of the major oil
companies as taken *ANY* profits in the last 5 years. They have put
them all back into oil exploration. Of course the Dems can't have any
of that. Facts are very irritating to them.

Oh, there's a plan in some detail already, and I am sure those details
will be released this summer. But, until there is assurance of a strong
Democratic majority in the House and Senate, all it is is a plan.

McCain's plan is for the free market system to make the rich richer, and
the middle class homeless.
