common sense prevails

So let's blame the poor. Corporations are good, particularly if they deliver gasoline without spilling it too much. What the poor see is that corporations pay only a fraction of what they paid towards the common weal 40 years ago. They see those same corporations shipping jobs overseas, despite the tax breaks that they assured would prevent such a dire occurence. They see government officials lined up to spend billions on the Olympics, or a new football stadium, and then crying poor they strip funding from education. No grievances, eh what? Don't worry, the Murdoch empire will assure us, on both sides of the pond, that the poor and liberals are to blame for their condition, and politicians and cops do their best. Supported by bribes from the Murdoch empire. This is how we create respect for those who succeeded? Showing that some of it involved cheating?

No need to apologize for those tax subsidies that the oil companies and the TeaBaggers fought so hard to preserve. Burned up the economy a little, but it was really just singes.

How can anyone who condemns the entitlement mentality and its genesis of and effect on greedy lemmings support one bit of the far left agenda?

Why is a policeman not allowed to use whatever degree of force is necessary to protect himself or an innocent bystander from deliberate ongoing harm, especially to his person? Shouldn't that be not only his right, but his very responsibility?

Cob's right; Boortz's speech was never delivered in person at TA&M. It ... and thousands of talks and spiels like it ... have, however, are delivered daily to many millions of his TR listeners each year, and he's been at that for almost 40 years now, so his points and logic are reaching much farther than if presented only as a commencement address. He often beats his idol, Limbaugh, in cities where their shows compete in the same time slot. He has a crystal clear way with logic and words very rare in politics and the media, and is, to the left's and right's (he's Libertarian) unending displeasure, free to speak his mind.

Boggsy, I think you can figure out that I'm not criticizing Apple...........they have done a fantastic job...........true entrepreneurs. I wish there were thousands more like them in this country. Their management and shareholders took risks and won big time......they should keep what they have earned. My post was merely to highlight the ill informed, prejudiced blather that is spouted on this forum, in the press and in Congress, that oil companies make outrageous profits. They do not. As I pointed out, it has taken the newly deposed Exxon 140 years of grinding discipline, in a difficult and dangerous business, to achieve the same wealth that has been achieved by Apple since the mid 90s. I don't begrudge Apple their success at all..........they've earned it, and I would object to them being singled out for special tax treatment, just because they are successful, in the same way I object to that treatment for the large oil companies.

Im with you. You must also understand that people need outlets. When gas prices spike, its easy to pile on the oil companies, Im certainly not in favor of windfall taxes on anybody. Just watched this vid by Mike Godsey from the Hatch on Tuesday, a mjust see for all the 3.5 lovers out there!
