LET'S TAX THOSE OIL COMPANIES
Nancy Pelosi is pushing a proposal through the congress to seize an additional $18 billion dollars in oil company revenues for the government. One of the things this sickening leftist wants to spend that money on is "alternative energy sources."

Let me just take a moment out of your busy day here to tell you how this "government spending oil company money on alternative energy sources" thing works.

Instead of the oil companies – who actually have some expertise in these matters – spending their profits on research and development of alternative energy, the money will be placed into the hands of politicians. This money will then be handed out on the basis of political considerations. Congressman X is in trouble next year, so let's spend some money in his district on some alternative energy plan. Congressman Y cooperated with Congressman Z on some legislation last year, so let's reward Congressman Y with a nice little earmark for some energy company in his district.

In short .. the money will be passed out based on political considerations rather than being spent by those businesses most able to accomplish the desired goals.
