Hillary’s Gas Holiday Tax

Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton is getting desperate in her bid to outlast Barrack Obama in the bid to become the Democratic Nominee for President in this year’s election.
Not one Economist or for that matter not one political of any kind has endorsed her idea of a Gas Holiday Tax. Not even her Economic Adviser's, one just shrugged and said, “It’s Politics as usual.” This is a Woman who wants to be President and is willing to do ‘Politics as Usual’. That’s not what the voters want to hear these days while they are paying up to $4 Dollars a Gallon. People are beginning to get angry and they want to know why they are paying that much for gasoline.
Well, you have all heard of the fact that the Chinese are buying cars, mostly from Japan and have you heard about India, buying cars, mostly from Japan. Guess what that means, they need gas to make their cars go.
Now, let’s do a little math here to help you figure things out. There are over 2 Billion Chinese in China, and 1 Billion People in India. Now let us say the same amount of people who have cars in the United States are driving in China maybe we’ll just round off the Chinese and Indian Drivers.
U.S. Cars 136,000,000
Chinese 136,000,000
India 136,000,000
Total 408,000,000
Are you still with me on this?
Now let’s figure each car needs about 12 Gallons of car a week, each week. 408,000,000 X 12 Gallons = 4,896,000,000 Gallons Per Week or in one year it would be 254,592,000,000 Gallons.
Now that is just three countries.
Now here’s another question.
Whose fault is it?
YOU AND ME.
Since the 1960’s Congress has been telling Detroit to bring up the Mileage Per Gallon in our cars. If the law had been in effect and we did not let Congress or Detroit fool around with it. We would be getting well over to 80 Miles to the Gallon by now.
So, who’s fault is it?
You and Me.
Why?
Because we’re the fools who vote the Big Fools into office and let them get away with it.
Now back to Hillary and her foolish idea. Yes, it’s foolish.
First of all no one in Washington will mess with it. Everyone and I mean from Warren Buffet on down says it’s wrong. They all know that once the tax is over, the oil companies will just raise the price and get back the money that they lost in the first place.
You see, Senator Clinton, the Oil Companies are in business for only one thing and only one thing.
TO MAKE MONEY.
This is a capitalist country, the reason for capitalism is to make money.
Senator Clinton, you all ready caused Americans to lose money by not supporting the recent agreement with Columbia. You basically have told the Colombians that if they want to make money and work with the United States they’re going to have to do it the old fashion way of smuggling more drugs into the North America and continue to poison our youth. No, Columbia will not be allowed to create free trade unions that will mirror and be influenced by the United States. Senator Clinton thinks the Colombians should go back to the days of the Cartel and the cocaine growing wild.
Now, you have this idea of punishing the oil companies by proposing a tax that they will get back within a short time.
If you really want to do something for the American People then tell them this.
We are at War.
Not only with Terrorist who hate our way of life but with political ideologies that want to destroy our very culture.
Since we are a country at war, desperate measures are needed and here are my top ten needs for this country:
1. Raise Gas to $5 a Gallon. Yeah, it hurts but we can live through it. Start thinking conservation people.
2. Tell Detroit only Hybrids and Diesel cars can be made starting 2010. Get rid of those big pick-ups and Hummers. What the hell were they thinking when they came out with those?
3. Tell Iowa to put the corn back into the animals and lower our food prices. Screw this Bio-fuel experiment with corn. Do it with sugar and that will cut the sugar usage for alcohol.
4. Tell people the truth. Those jobs that left, are not coming back, but we’re going to start training them for the future. We need to create jobs for the Global Market that means our customers are Global, not local. We need to start thinking this way.
5. Anyone who goes back to school to upgrade and better train themselves will be able to write off all education expenses.
6. Families who send their kids to a four year institute and on to graduate school can write off all education expenses.
7. All High Schools are going to have to go on a full year schedule we cannot afford to have our future wasted. Our kids need this in order to be competitive in the future with the Global Economy. A couple of weeks of during the summer for a family vacation is all that is needed.
8. There is to be no HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT. If you cannot handle or deal with High School then you can go to trade school, Job Corp or some other program, but you need to know to do something. Society CANNOT afford to carry you.
9. Consider reinstating the Draft. Two years away from Mommy can turn a lot of little boys into men. We still need that rite of passage, it’s a biological thing. It can help us avoid having a lot of lost in-sensitive young men in our society who are walking around with a chip on their shoulders. Draft the girls too. Show them what equality really means.
10. Fight to get a Line Veto vote through Congress. Hell! Make it an amendment.
Okay, Hillary, Obama and Mac, show the American People who’s got the guts to do something which will cause a lot of headaches at first, but in the long run will help the Country continue to succeed.
