The oil companies are just the perfect example of this. They are making record profits at the expense of the country (oil costs are low, but gas prices are high), and they are STILL threatening to raise prices if they don't get handed 30 billion dollars in subsides. The record profits aren't enough, no, they want to get handed more, and if they don't, the little guy is going to suffer cause they just HAVE to get that money one way or the other. Sorry, but the big rich oil executive just NEEDS it. The fact that hes already a multi millionaire just isn't enough. **** them. They don't care about you, and no matter how big a Tea Partier you are and how much you buy into this trickle down bull****, they'll still step on you in a second just to put another dollar in their pocket...
That's it in a nutshell...Rep to you...
