Socialist Biden is coming for you're money in new budget proposal.

What a disgrace, continuing to get us into recession by every mean at his disposal. Thank G-D for the checks and balances

Oil companies make massive profits on the backs of the working middle class. Taxing them is smart and will go over big with the average Americans.

We pay record prices for gas while they make record profits. Trying to defend the oil companies is a losing proposition.

Have some faith, hopefully you'll one day get to the bracket he wants to tax, not so sure you'll support it than.

The UK just tried that, and here are the results https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Windfall-Tax-Leads-To-Job-Losses-At-UKs-Largest-Oil-Gas-Producer.html. If your goal is to reduce oil and gas production, then higher taxes are a great idea.

The oil market is a global commodity, the producers don't set the price.

I would support it. The more you make the more disposable income you have.

[CountValentine]

The oil market is a global commodity, the producers don't set the price.

Producers can set any price they want. They can lower the price of gas and just make less profit. It is their call.

Either way trying to defend record oil profits when gas prices are killing average Americans is a losing position. That is politics 101.

If they sold oil for below market value, you wouldn't see a nickel of savings. This is economics 101, but apparently politics 101 is more important to you. It's sad, but because people don't understand economics 101, the result is bad economics = good politics. This won't help your average American in the short term, and it will lead to higher prices in the long term.

Many economists disagree with you but to be fair many do agree with you.

Here is the bottom line. Taxes are going up. The more that come from the fat cats the less will come from the average American.

Even if all this is true, it's still a terrible implementation of the idea.

The idea is that those that can afford to pay more will be taxed more.
Most I would say agree with that.

I'll give you a start to dropping the deficit and taking care of low income workers taxes,  stop sending 80 bil to ukraine.

Interesting take. How did the anti-Russia party become the pro-Russia party? Does it just come down to we are for the opposite of what the other party is doing?

  stop sending 80 bil to ukraine.

Pennies for what it delivers. The military's budget per FY is $800B, and here America is crushing their largest foe for pennies on the dollar and without risking any American lives. That's just from a practical standpoint, not talking about the humanitarian and moral obligation not to allow dictators bring imperialism back to life again.

Who is pro russia? let Europe which has a greater threat from the foot this massive bill.

How did that work out in Afghanistan and iraq

Was there or do you see another 911 in the future?

[CountValentine]

Watch FIX news.

You're conflating imperialism and radical Islam. Also, neither Afghanistan nor Iraq were Biden's or Obama's wars.

He did challenge the R's to produce a budget but so far only crickets.
