The endless problem assumed in a debate is the best answer belongs to the yes side period or the no side period. The federal government should not remove tax breaks to the entire oil and gas industry. It must however examine the politics of our corporations who by trading with Middle East, including Saudi Arabia ,are actually hurting the American economy and subsidizing foreign nations that, with price gouging threaten our freedom and principles regarding equality

and human rights guaranteeing the liberty's of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Give tax breaks to the oil and gas company's who do not and will not purchase these commodities from the nations of the middle east ,including Saudi Arabia. Those company's are Sunoco, zero barrels bought, Conoco, 0,Sinclair, 0,B/P Phillips,0,Hess,0,an d Arco,0 barrels purchased.

Not only remove tax breaks but even perhaps raise tax's on Sunoco who bought 205,742,000 barrels of oil from the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. The same should pertain to Chevron/Texaco, 144,332,000, Exxon/Mobil, 130,082,000, Marathon/Speedway 117,740,000, and Amoco, 62,231,000 barrels of oil paid in full.

Are we as a free democratic nation still ignoring the real facts it was Arabs who hijacked the airplanes that brought down the Twin Towers killing over 3000 innocent American's ? They weren't from Iraq ! Bin Laden ,a Saudi, and his terrorist recruits are primarily from the Middle East. The profits from the oil sales going into these country's may not go directly to these groups but by making the price increase to the point of usury it passes through every faze of our economy where produce is trucked to any goods retailing in our warehouses and shopping malls.

The federal government needs to arrive at an enforcement of taxation in a bipartisan agreement rewarding company's supporting intelligent purchasing policy's which will bring the prices back down as an oil glut backs up in the ports of the Middle East. It's competitive capitalism at work at it's finest. It's time our politicians act together ,party lines crossed to obtain a strong economy at home where the money saved from oil prices reduced is spent in our business's and our tax's go to strengthen our infrastructure and produce hybrid automobiles favorable to our environment.

Let's reiterate my opening staement. The United States of America is not a yes or no, black or white, rich or poor country. We are a nation built on comprimise which allows both sides of a debate to arrive at a common ground serving the best interest of all citizens. We must come together,along with the Congress and our next elected President, to achieve tax laws that improve our way of life, free to challenge large corporations and lobby's that accept enormous profits to the tune of a scale which not only patronizes the upper 10% of a super rich populace of CEO's and their political cronies,taking tax breaks and making bad decisions,paying economic enemys and ignoring the need for more refinerys of crude oil so dollars can go to their research and development division, discovering alternate fuels that create clean air to breath and grow produce truckers can deliver without a gas surcharge.
