Well first off, sounds like you have a wonderful life going. Enjoy those blessing you have in your life and be thankful for what God has provided to you. To answer your question. The general public is the America citizen. I can’t answer who the F determines what the people need. The American citizens determine what the people need through their right to vote. That why the gun debate has and will continue to be a subjective debate among society. Are the American “Needs” today different than the founding fathers “Needs” who wrote the second amendment? Another debate.

I live in a rural county in northwest Ohio. Have a few acres, married the love of my life and have a couple of your kids. We got sex offenders, drug trafficking, sex trafficking all around us. I totally get the need for guns as a way to protect your family from the evils in this world. That being said, who determines the type of firepower that the average American citizen can purchase?

Regardless of how ridiculous the term "fair share" is......it will never be enough.

Isn't the idea, that the rich pay more in taxes to be distributed to folks below the poverty line?

Ever been to a rural trailer park? How about urban housing projects?

Don't you lefties realize that ANY and ALL government dollars do ZERO to help low income families. 90% is going to that gutter lifestyle.

BTW.....I am an EX addict.

This 100%. The whole welfare system is enabling generations to remain poor. It’s becoming a lifecycle for families. Welfare is a lifestyle for some. Isn’t it like almost 50% of all school aged children in Ohio are eligible for free or reduced lunches? I don’t mind assistance for people in need but it shouldn’t be a way of life. If you are going to take Welfare, there should be a plan to get them off of welfare.

I remember many years ago some government agency in town was giving an award to a woman because she had spent something like 40 years in the same government housing project. That shouldn’t be awarded! Government housing should be a short term option, not a permanent address.

Yes, in a down year. Making their shareholders money.

Why do you care? Is it too much? What is your point?

Get over yourself and buy their stock. Jeez.

Maybe there was something to Lou's movie after all:

Ok, so let’s just see what happens when a company wants to use a few of 9,000 permits. A few that makes sense to drill on from a company standpoint.

Again another red herring argument.

Al Mazrouei: Don’t blame crude oil producers for high fuel prices

According to al Mazrouei, major crude oil producers should not be blamed for the rise in fuel prices. He added that fingers should instead be pointed at the politicization of the oil market and high taxes in nations that import OPEC products.

“We are getting a fraction of what the companies and governments are making from those extra taxes,” the Emirati official said.

Both al Mazrouei and bin Salman also denounced a proposal in the U.S. Congress aimed at OPEC, explaining that the bill “would bring greater chaos to already strained energy market.” If it gets signed into law, the bill could push oil prices by threefold, the UAE’s energy minister noted.

U.S. Senate Bill 977 or the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) Act of 2021 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 5 in a 17-4 vote. With the committee’s approval, the bill now needs to be voted on by both chambers of Congress before President Joe Biden signs it into law.
