Web Rider Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 When I was 4 or 5, I remember telling my mom I wanted to work at the gas station because everybody stops and gives you money... from what I know of gas stations, they don't make real good money in many places where prices are high.

tk102 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well, yeah. Did I mention I was 4? The point is: people need gas to drive their cars and they're willing to pay -- that fact is even obvious to young children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I wouldn't have such a problem with this if I knew where all of the oil profits were GOING. The flow of money is like a current in the ocean--it circulates, going around and around to lots of different places. Could oil revenue be supporting terrorists, even unwittingly?

EnderWiggin Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I would bet on it. The money given to Saudi Arabia and other nations in the Middle East is most definitely being moved around, and with the amount of terrorism today, I'm sure it gets into the hands of terrorism sooner or later... _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravnas Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well we're lucky they didn't up the price to 5 Bucks and instead upped the price to 3 Bucks, but they did that to avoid taxation anyway and have minimal profits instead of no profits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think it would do well for everyone to remember that corporations don't pay taxes, we pay taxes. Their taxes are always folded into the price of the commodity they're moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think it would do well for everyone to remember that corporations don't pay taxes, we pay taxes. Their taxes are always folded into the price of the commodity they're moving. But we need to pay taxes! It's our civic duty, paying money to the government! Why are people so upset about giving the government money so they can use it to build roads, or provide border security, or pay for social security?

Tommycat Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think people have a problem with HOW the taxes have been spent as of late, and how much we have been paying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a problem with how the taxes are being spent as well as how much we've been paying out. The entire system is ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
