Sen Grassley makes me soooo damned ill
In his opposition to the Windfall Profits Tax Bill he tries to equate big oil to Microsoft and their profits. I didn't realize Microsoft had raised the prices on their O/S by over 100% in the last year. I did not realize that after the series of Hurricanes, Microsoft raised the prices of their O/S. I did not realize that
Microsoft made 132 billion dollars in one quarter, while receiving all kinds of government subsidies and tax breaks.
While those three points are done tongue in cheek, my fourth point is more serious...Microsoft O/S does not keep people warm in the winter and the cost of their O/S has no effect on the cost of food and other household necessities.
That comparison just makes me sooooooooooooooo F**KING ANGRY.
