Any democrats feel like seeing their politicians contradict themselves?

Question

Put c-span1 on right now.

The democrats are trying to raise taxes to U.S. oil companies, without raising them on foreign ones.

Do they think the oil companies will just absorb that loss themselves? Do they not realize that will affect gas prices?

I thought they wanted to reduce our dependance on foreign oil?

I am in every position to talk contradictions. I am pointing them out as they happen, and liberals REFUSE to look at them.

The (most) contradictions the liberals point out are items twisted around to appear to be contradictions.

Answer 1

Does this mean that oil from overseas will be cheaper than domestic oil? If so, what stations receive the imported oil?

Answer 2

They do (end the dependence of foreign oil) and that is why they are closing the loop hole that allows off shore drilling w/o royalty fee's. have you even read what this is about?

Newly empowered House Democrats sought to recoup billions of dollars in lost royalties from offshore drilling as they anticipated approval Thursday of a $15 billion package of fees, taxes and royalties on oil and gas companies. The money would be used to promote renewable fuels.

The bill is largely aimed at recovering an estimated $10 billion that stands to be lost to the government because of an error in deep-water drilling leases for the Gulf of Mexico issued in the late 1990s.

So what is contradicting themselves? Please email me with that answer! [e-mail] thanks.

Answer 3

We produce 60% of our oil now. Yes I know I'm contributing to a 9 year old thread lol. I found this because when I googled "Republicans contradict themselves" and "Democrats contradict themselves" both answer sets were the same - all articles about Republicans contradicting themselves - except this one lol.

Answer 5

I watched that, it was quite good. They said they were removing subsidies on an industry that pulled 20 billion in profits from our public lands with out paying a single cent in royalties. This land is our land and they should have to pay to use it. This issue is about making the industry pay its fair share of U.S. taxes. As for dependence on foreign oil, I agree about their direction towards alternative energy. We have the technology and it is now becoming viable to get us off of fossil fuels, especially concerning home energy. We still use quite a bit of heating oil for home use, replace that with clean energy and that means for fuel for our cars. Give technology and markets a chance, we will ween ourselves off of oil.

this was last night's c-span I watched, not sure about the reasoning behind today's.

Answer 6

We elect politicians, not saints, what do you expect them to do?
Right now Dem's are looking to reduce the tax break the oil companies are getting for exploration. They make their profit from finding oil, the more oil they find, the more profit they make, why should I pay them to find what they make their profit from?
If I ran a clothing store, would the government pay me to meet with suppliers?
