Don't believe everything you hear.

"IVD~ As for those massive oil profits, Democrats want to slap Big Oil with a "windfall profits tax." In fact, since 2002 the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has earned about 8.1 cents per dollar of sales -- exactly the same as all U.S. manufacturing, excluding autos. Not much of a windfall."

"IVD~ One of the oil business's dirty secrets is that only 6% of all reserves are controlled by investor-owned oil companies such as those demonized by Congress. The rest are controlled by governments, one way or another. And 11 of the 15 largest oil companies are government-owned. Government is the problem, not "Big Oil.""

Spread the word! And buy an '09 Prius, 100mpg.
