Obama regime attack upon the coal industry parallels the attack on oil

The regime’s insane energy policy!



With President Obama in re-election mode, the Bilderberg media won’t ask appropriate and direct questions that beg to be asked. Because many within the GOP are Progressive-lites, it is up to TEA party members of Congress and each of us to expose the insanity of the regime’s energy policy!

Who in the traditional/Bilderberg media has addressed the financial insanity of driving up the cost of gas at the pump? The regime wants you to believe that the uncertainty within the Middle East is the main source of driving up the cost of gas at the pump, but let’s look at the facts, something this regime is reluctant to share. We have a government-induced recession that started prior to the arrival of President Obama, which has been exasperated by virtually every political action of his regime. Due to the rogue actions of our oppressive Federal government, how many people in the petroleum industry under or unemployed? More importantly, how much is the attack upon the petroleum industry costing us in a ‘non-recovery recovery’ and in lost tax revenues? When people are under or unemployed, they pay reduced or no taxes; doesn’t this negatively impact our tax revenues? When people have reduced income, they cut back on spending, so businesses and government have less revenue. It’s a domino effect, ending with the taxes assessed per gallon of gas sold at the pump, along with all of the other taxes paid in the chain, from drilling oil to filling up with oil at the pump. Each state assesses taxes. The state of Kansas assesses an excise tax of $.24/gallon and a $.01/gallon underground fuel storage tax. Visit gaspricewatch.com for your state and local taxes. The Federal government rakes in $.18/gallon sold! With figures like these, wouldn’t you think our government would foster an environment of growth and consumption? So, when political policy suppresses the use of oil and other natural resources, it is inhibiting the free-flow of tax revenue. Can we afford such insanity? From the end of March until October, the probability of a significant rollback in the cost of gas at the pump is muted with the implementation of the ‘summer blends’ around the country. There are approximately 20 different blends around the country, and these blends have their greatest impact within major metropolitan markets. There are a limited number of refineries that are equipped to supply the 20 different blends at the height of the gas-use season, driving up the cost of gas. Because these blends are not compatible, a market that may have a surplus can’t ship its excess supply to a market that is in short supply, compounding an already strained situation. With the Fed printing dollars to funnel money to political allies and offset the debt that it is passing onto future generations and us, oil cartels and oil producing countries charge more dollars per barrel of petroleum. What is seldom mentioned within the media or by Progressives in government is that the record profits reported by the oil companies are inflated due to the inflated costs per barrel. In actuality, when computed as a percentage of ‘profits,’ oil companies are not making record profits due to these inflated costs. Because of these inflated profits, President Obama and the Progressives seek to eliminate tax incentives for oil companies to drill domestically. Other industries have similar incentives, so why is the oil industry being punished? This attack upon domestic drilling tax incentives is somewhat humorous, due to the fact that this regime has done everything possible to shut down domestic drilling. With one hand, President Obama authorizes drilling rights, but then his heavy-handed EPA sweeps in to dam up the works. The Bilderberg media promotes President Obama’s authorized drilling rights through its media outlets, yet is mute to the EPA skullduggery. How can we ever achieve energy independence when our own politicians, agencies and the media lemmings undermine this effort? The Progressives purport that by removing the domestic drilling tax incentives, this is fair, the government will have more revenues, and the cost per gallon of gas at the pump will go down. What moonshine are these imbeciles imbibing? We’re facing a $1.4 trillion dollar deficit and these imbeciles are focused upon $4.4 billion in revenues that will be passed onto the consumer in higher costs at the pump! How about the $2 billion in taxpayer money President Obama handed over to the Brazilian state-owned oil company to drill in the Gulf of Mexico so that we can buy oil from Brazil – how does this help us with our domestic oil independence? If you familiar with the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain), these are the faltering European economies that we are fast becoming. The Progressives genuflect at the altar of green energy. Spain has already attempted this fantasy, and it cost its economy 2.5 jobs for every one green job it created. Do we really want to go down the failed road of green energy and jobs? What is rarely mentioned is that, while green energy can supplement traditional energy, it cannot replace it. There are too many variables and inconsistencies with ‘renewable’ energy for green energy to meet the demand for reliable energy, at any cost. Green energy, as a staple, is a myth perpetrated by the Progressive clique, and they funnel taxpayer money in grants and tax incentives to their friends in the vain attempt to realize this myth. The attack upon the coal industry parallels the attack on oil. Do the employees within these industries realize they are being targeted for extinction? If these people are expunged from our economy, what happens to their healthcare and pensions? Won’t this place added burdens to our caving Medicare and Social Security systems? Additionally, for each dollar diverted to pay for the increased cost of oil or coal, this is money that is stolen from the economy and businesses, large and small. This has a repressive impact upon employment and tax revenues that could help us reduce our deficit without raising tax rates! How does attacking our oil and coal industries help us with our desired economic recovery? How do these actions contribute to energy independence and national security? Because green energy as the principal form of energy is a myth, don’t you wonder what the real agenda is? Could it be an attempt to control the masses, much like the un-Constitutional ObamaCare and scurrilous Dodd-Frank bills are? The President and the Progressives are acting in a manner similar to the Air France Airbus A330 pilots, lifting the nose of our economy in the form of higher taxes and increased costs when they should be lowering the nose of the plane with lower taxes and costs. Let’s pray that our economy doesn’t suffer a similar fate as Airbus A330. If the GOP leadership won’t address these facts and issues adequately, members of the TEA Party need to rise to the occasion and speak out. The TEA Party is the political equivalent of the Navy Seal Team 6, and we need to be rescued from an abusive government by those within the TEA Party! Many Americans’ memories are fickle when they enter the voting booth. Are you are satisfied with this attack upon the American economy and your quality of life? Aren’t these increased costs regressive in nature, hurting the middle class and those at the lower rungs of our society the most? Is it fair to place ideology ahead of the lives of those who can least afford this assault upon their finances and freedoms? Will you remember this purposeful assault on November 6, 2012, voting to depose the unenlightened despots?
