He said it again! -increased gas prices are like a tax
Williams: Last question, this is the other side of gas prices. Exxon earnings are out today, $88 billion and change, it's bigger than the GDP of the United Arab Emirates, of what is it, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, basically a billion dollars a day. Can you understand the anger? Folks are out there spending $3-plus to fill up their cars and pickup trucks. Do you get the visceral response?

Bush: Of course. People don’t — you know, the increase of gas at the pump is like a tax on the working people, it's like a tax on small businesses, of course I understand that.....

No, you idiot, they're like a profit. Geeze. Williams didn't even ask what he meant by that!

4. For Bush it IS just like a tax.
Price gouging by the oil companies is just like a tax, except that it's cutting out the government middleman.

That is EXACTLY an oil mans view.
