How Idiots "Think"

 The Last Refuge highlights this gem from the White Marx House:

The oil industry has a choice. 

Either invest in America by lowering prices for consumers at the pump and increasing production and refining capacity. 

Or pay a higher tax on your excessive profits and face other restrictions.

We all know that 'increasing production/refining' is solely dependent on FedGov regulation.  Threats to the industry that it will be replaced by EuroWeenie pixie-dust solar/windmills in 10 years do not make sense in light of the required 30-year++ payback time needed for refining and fracking/drilling.

And we also know that "excessive profits taxes" resulted in less production and higher prices at the pump the last time they were tried, back in the Carter era.  Oh--by the way--the "excess profits tax" produced only 25% of the expected revenues.

But Biden's tweet looks good to Laura Halbert of Watertown, WI.  That's all that counts!

So the the misspelling was the issue that prevented you from comprehending what I said, that Ms. Halbert is a POS too
