Oil Price Rise Causes Global Shift in Wealth

[spanone]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

~snip~ High oil prices are fueling one of the biggest transfers of wealth in history. Oil consumers are paying $4 billion to $5 billion more for crude oil every day than they did just five years ago, pumping more than $2 trillion into the coffers of oil companies and oil-producing nations this year alone.

2. Heard that on CSpan WJ this morning

George has fugged the planet. We're paying J$62.46 per litre this morning (US$1 =J$71.00).

Since we started taking orders from the neo-liberals our dollar has moved from 3-1 to 71 -1 and people still wonder why so many people are illegal immigrants in the US. All animals migrate to feed their young.

5. I think we need to give the oil industry some tax incentives

Hell maybe eve some subsidies as well. It's a given they won't do any exploration without them...

8. And don't forget that their shareholders are getting fat, too.

Parasitic bastards that they are.
