I feel like saying: "TAKE YOUR $100 GAS REFUND AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS"

[Nimrod2005]

To all lawmakers in Washington DC (seems like GOP senators proposed this).

They must think we are them, they also think they are dealing with Jack Abramoff - In psychology, it is called transferring, means we would love what they love, things like BRIBES!!!

The proposed $100.00 rebate for high gas prices is nothing but a BRIBE to voters - This is like the $300.00 tax rebate asshole sent us back in 2001. I say go to hell assholes.

I am telling you right now, whoever votes for the $100.00, will get a vote against their ass in November.

:mad: :puke: :argh:

1. Nailed it.

Forget the damn rebate--go after Big Oil for price gouging.

Edit: typo.

[Ian David]

2. Just endorse your check over to MoveOn,org or Greenpeace

Or, I can keep the money and buy me a hammock!

[FSogol]

3. I heard that one condition of that is allowing drilling in ANWR.

That's what pissed me off.

Edit: sp

[blondeatlast]

4. If that's really the case, then they can really shove that thing

where Nimrod said.

[Nimrod2005]

7. OMG I am now more pissed!!! If that's true

[LynneSin]

5. Let's see, I'm paying $15 extra a week to fill up my gas tank

It use to be $20, now it's $35.

Not buying it one damn it at all!

ANd I haven't even factored in how much extra I'm paying for my electricity or how much extra people are paying for their heating costs

[blondeatlast]

14. For once, we in the desert southwest can get a feel for what those

in the north and northeast go through every winter, if not to such extreme YET.

We're hovering just beneath 100 degree days just about the same time gas has reached record levels. That means we have to turn the AC on in our cars and workplaces (I'm doing my level best to avoid it at home, but must cave occasionally).

Fuck these bastards to HELL.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. Don't forget increases in grocery, too!

The transportation increases are going into the prices of bread, milk, etc.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. That's two weeks worth of gas for me.

I drive a minivan because there are six of us in this house. I filled up at Kroger the other day with my $.10 off coupon for $46.

[AlCzervik]

8. dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

[Ian David]

9. My solution is better. A temporary tax on owning & trading oil securities

Anyone who buys, sells, trades, options or otherwise engages in a stock or securities transaction should be taxed $0.10 per share for the next 60 days.

Anyone who currently owns oil company stocks, bonds, certificates or securities should be charged a one-time tax of $0.05 per share.

The revenue would be used to pay for solar panels on public housing.

[Nimrod2005]

10. Brilliant - Why not.

[shenmue]

11. Right on target

Screw these bastards.

[Avalux]

12. LOL - listen to this -------

I walked out into the clinic a few minutes ago and said to all the nurses - "hey ladies, how would you feel if the government gave each of us 100 bucks to offset high gas prices?". One said "I'll take it, but if they think it'll make me feel better they're wrong". Another laughed and said "Do they think we're idiots?". We all then chuckled about how rediculous the whole idea is.

[AndyA]

13. It's a token bribe. Nothing more.

Here, peasant, take this paltry check and go fill up once or twice with it. Forget that your government is raping you. Forget that it's lying to you. Forget that it's wasting more than this every single second.

The American people are such idiots. They just keep falling for this same shit over and over again. WAKE UP, AMERICA!

[guidod]

20. And it's our tax money that's

paying for it! We would be bribing each other.

[Arkansas Granny]

27. And will it have to be reported on your tax return as income so

you can pay tax on it?

[guidod]

32. Of course you would!

Double taxation is the name of the game. Give my tax money back to me so I can pay taxes on it. And then do it again. You're abdsolutely right, WAKE UP, AMERRICA.:spank:

[bullimiami]

15. they are going to give 100.00 of our money back to us so we can give it

to the oil companies?

what the hell kind of deal is that?

And where are all those 100.00s of dollars going to come from? Added on the the debt, of course.

[Blaze Diem]

16. Lets see now..$100.00 = 2 or 3 tanks of gasoline...

Depends what you're driving, but a hundred bucks just isn't much anymore...
Guess it'll get you a few more trips to WalMart...

I want to see a drop in gasoline prices across the board...back to $1.60 a gallon..The entire Bush Administration is where they are because of the thievery it allows them.

I'm so sick of this.

[Contrary1]

17. All we have to do...

is email the morons to express our gratitude for allowing us to donate an additional $100. to the DNC...and then do it.

[Carni]

18. Not to mention WHAT GOOD DOES 100 BUCKS DO?

As is a paltry 100 bucks is going to cover the 3 buck a gallon price?

Yeah right-- NOT!

[Robbie Michaels]

33. Actually, It's $3.25 for regular gas where I live

I'm sure it's near $3.50 where my father lives. I'll find out tonight when I visit him.

[Norquist Nemesis]

21. Where, oh where are they going to get the money?

Are they going to cut SS and/or Medicaid or any other SS programs they have their beady little eyes on to fund this boondoggle? :grr:

[Nimrod2005]

34. CHINA - Where else?

[blm]

22. I agree - they're protecting the oil companies and their tax breaks and

subsidies. That 100 bucks is NOTHING compared to the breaks the oil companies have gotten from BushInc.

Kerry's bill calls for oil companies to have their tax requirements REINSTATED NOW.

[ThingsGottaChange]

23. It's alot more than just a bribe

"However, the GOP energy package may face tough sledding because it also includes a controversial proposal to open part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil exploration, which most Democrats and some moderate Republicans oppose."

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/27/gas.rebate/index.html

I just cannot believe that we let our intelligence be insulted over and over again by these fuckwads!!! I know exactly where I'd like to put that "rebate". Oh! Maybe I wouldn't get one since I'm on social security and not a "tax payer" anymore.

[w13rd0]

24. This proposal is an insult...

...and they should get their asses kicked for it.

[Nimrod2005]

25. Exactly...

[blondeatlast]

26. But most won't see it that way, unfortunately.

You are right on target, of course, but it's hard for people to understand that just as it was hard to understand the tax rebate of ~3 years ago.

[ileus]

28. We've already topped the 100 buck extra cost this month alone.

So maybe drop 1 bill for every month of the year and it may even out. Sheese fools.

[newyawker99]

31. Hi ileus!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[eppur_se_muova]

29. OP says it all! Stupid non-solution is just a cheap bribe to voters. nt

[izzybeans]

30. "I'm gonna buy me a hammock! Wing, Ding Doodley Ding Ding Doo!

I'm a dumb motherfucker and I vote."

I've been in the habit of quoting a handful of comedians in situations like this, and it appears a little David Cross fits nicely here.

[Nimrod2005]

35. lol...

[smtpgirl]

36. Ohhhh, so they can "give" us a total of $400

AND IT'S ALL OK, NOT!!!!!!!

I'll take the $100 "rebate" and give it to charity, because that's all it is, since the GOP has been raping us for 12 years.

[Generator]

37. If we got out of Iraq

they could probably send us each $1000. Of course, we know the military industrial complex comes first. Shhhh..never talk about the massive money hole that is and where the hell were they on 9/11? Oh nevermind.

The first rule of economics is war makes someone rich. And it makes somebody else pay. And how does GAS relate to Iraq? I dunno but it might be one part of it.

[mtnester]

38. It would actually be more useful using it for toilet paper as described

I am thinking
