Amen to that brother Huib!
It is the same here. The government makes nothing but earns the most, and then desires to put a "winfall profits tax" on the oil companies for "excess profit". That same government is making "pure profit" due to having no risk in producing/refining the oil?
The rate at which we are all taxed is crazy. :pullhair:
And, mostly Government does little, to nothing, to earn those taxes?
And, to add insult to injury the local governments place their sales taxes on the cost of a gallon at the time of purchase. That is a tax on average of 5%, which if carried out logically is a tax on the one third of a cost that is pure tax.
Taxing taxes ... what a scam, eh?
But, we all (including me) are getting off topic in the "off topic" post. :smoke:
