What do you think of Obama's idea of the oil companies funding rebates?

[CatWoman]

I like the idea. The greedy bastards.

Give some of that money back to the people!!!

[Runcible Spoon]

1. I'd much rather see that huge amount of money used to fund promising alternative energy initiatives.

give it straight to Gore to make a thinktank or some shit.

[DuaneBidoux]

11. Totally agreed!!!

2. I like Sen. Byron Dorgan's idea of a windfall profits tax.

Oct 28, 2005 Sen. Byron Dorgan proposed a "windfall profit" tax on oil being sold above $40 a barrel.

Maybe Dorgan should have run for President!!!

3. ehh it would be nice

its hard to not want someone to give ya 1000....but I am not sure how much real help its going to be..Id much rather have a good paying job.

4. It couldn't come from a better source.

[magellan]

5. No

Temporary feel good measure which won't make a dent in oil prices or help wean us off oil.

Make them permanent, annual rebates however and I might be persuaded.

[bemildred]

6. I think we ought to nationalize all of them.

They have sponged off the public's property long enough.

[robcon]

7. Ridiculous.

The oil companies will just pass on the tax to consumers. Economics 101.

[bemildred]

8. What about nationalizing all of them?

We could just put all those profits right into the US treasury, the Social Security fund for example, or medicare, or public education.
