Oil and Gas

I am a huge enthusiast of education and for anyone trying to better their position. I have no patience for stupidity and can't stand left-wing bleeding heart liberals who try to handicap business or speak poorly of capitalism. Everywhere I go I hear people complaining how awful it is that the gas companies are making so much money, and I think to myself: “Hell no it is not, that is the purpose of a company, to make money off a product, and since oil and gas companies primary product is oil and gas, I would say your shit out of Luck if you are looking for a discount. I don’t hear people asking Johnson and Johnson to make less money off baby products.

That being said Governor Richardson (Governor of New Mexico) is complaining that Oil and Gas Companies are not doing enough to help with gas prices. It is remarks like this from people that have a big following that is leading the world in the wrong direction. In New Mexico the oil companies paid $600.00 Million dollars in 2005 alone. In Governor Richardson’s State of the State address he mentioned there was 710 million in the general fund. He did however fail to mention where that money came from. Not to mention the fact that the Great Governor is asking oil and gas companies to contribute 50 million to ease the “strain” caused by gas prices. An alternate theory would be for the great governor to lower the .35-.45 cents per gallon we pay in taxes to the state, but we all know how likely that is to happen.
