Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...
By now it's apparent that most of our politicians are special interest groupies. Funding the party is America's mumbling majority - liberals, moderates, and conservatives who are growing weary of bending over. Coincidently, the folks making the lubricants are one of our biggest beneficiaries. Oil companies receive over 35 billion a year in tax subsidies. Until recently, BP, a British company, was getting $225,000 in tax deductions a day for renting the Deep Water Horizon rig. It's no surprise then that Obama has been the biggest recipient of BP PAC cash and Democrats are as guilty as Republicans in supporting oil subsidies while oil companies support them. To their credits, some of our donkeys are starting to bray while Republicans continue to follow the herd to the trough. Subsidies have very little impact on domestic oil production - serving as little more than another socialistic welfare opportunity for the rich and powerful. Let your congressman know you are tired of bending over for all special interests - especially the guys in the lubrication business...
I'm Dr. Carl Mumpower and you've just spent a minute with a candid conservative...
