why is it... when businesses get tax cuts... the prices of products don't go down? (as gas is a great example of, when they did get their tax cut)....
but when they pay taxes, they use it as an excuse to raise taxes?
same with foreign made goods, made for half the price? the prices of the good don't drop by 50 percent...
maximization of profit anyway you can... little concern for anything else...
me personally... I don't really like cutting taxes on business making all time record profits... just me... if you want to cut, cut them on small businesses... they pay much more than the others do anyway...

The price will only rise, regardless of tax or no tax. Congress should repeal the tax cuts AND cap the price on the obscene windfall profits the oil companies have been raking in. They should also re-examine HEAP, Bush's favorite WELFARE PROGRAM which has been nothing more than a parity gouging feast for the oil companies as fuel prices have kept inflating and those supposedly benefiting are paying more than what they did before the benefit checks started going to the oil companies.

If the oil companies increase prices they should be siezed under the RICO anti racketeering statutes, all their assets siezed by the government. Its routinely done against homeowners who have the wrong kind of plant growing in the yard so it should certainly be done to international monopolies that steal billions of dollars as a course of their business. Sieze their assets. Nationalize them. Put their leaders in prison. simple.
