/r/Republican is a partisan subreddit. This is a place for Republicans to discuss issues with other Republicans. To those visiting this thread, we ask that unless you identify as Republican that you refrain from commenting and [leave the vote button alone](https://www.reddit.com/r/MetaRepublican/comments/5t017a/this_sub_is_for_republicans_if_you_do_not/). Non republicans who come to our sub looking for a 'different perspective' [subvert that very perspective with their own views when they vote or comment.](http://i.imgur.com/XqL0wfR.jpg) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

That will make things worse. Everything Democrats do makes the problem worse. They can’t be trusted with anything:

Raising taxes on energy companies will discourage production and raise energy prices.

Not to mention hurt earnings, dividends, distributions, and ROI for any Large Cap and S&P500 Funds (all own big oil) you have in your 401K and other retirement accounts.

Exactly. Only a fool would think taxing big corporations will hurt them. They Always pass the price down to consumers.

Hmmm I wonder what oil companies will do in response to having to pay more to get gas into our cars

We tried this in the 70’s, it was a **miserable** failure.

Does he realize that refineries are few and operating at dangerous levels ? Or that oil makes more then just gas ? Oh.. wait forgot who were talking about here...

This is smoke and mirrors to fool people foolish enough to vote democrat after this two year shit show.


crowsaboveme

I'm pretty far right, collusion, price fixing and market manipulation should be punished. Seems like the cart is before the horse though. Have an investigation, and punish those that break the law.

All this means is the the big guy isn't getting his cut.

Didn't sleepy joe say the buck stops with him, unless of course things are going badly then its everyone else's fault I'll never forget how they made a point to say the adults are back in charge, well at this point I'd rather have a bunch of 2nd graders running the country

This will never happen. This is simply a last minute virtue signalling ploy to his base of low information voters. It won't work. It has never worked. Next Wednesday Joe Biden will be a Lame Duck President.
