Obama - Yes we can (buy votes with other people’s money)
Barack Obama 8/4/2008 - “I believe we should immediately give every working family in America a $1,000 energy rebate, and we should pay for it with part of the record profits that the oil companies are making right now.”
Just curious… since oil company profits are already taxed, would this tax be applied before or after the current tax? Either way, how do you “immediately” do this? Under what authority? Since Pelosi already sent everyone home, when does Obama plan to introduce the bill that will put the oil companies’ money where his mouth is?
How convenient Obama came up with this idea after Congress went on vacation. Could it be that he knows there is no way this could possibly be done before the election, forget about “immediately”, and is just using this as a way to buy votes with a promise of other people’s money… nah, ya think?
Stumble it!
