Britain does it right

Britain is going to provide direct cost-of-living payments to its citizens to help offset the rising price of necessities. The amount stated is 19 billion pounds (the exact amount will be determined later).

 

The best part, though, is that will be paid for by a direct windfall profits tax on fossil fuel companies--25% on profits above a certain threshold. Britain's Minister of Finance says the tax and payments will be revenue-neutral. Britain's fossil fuel companies get the most generous tax breaks of any of their industries, so they can easily absorb this one-off tax.

 

This is the way to do things. Tax the shit out of the big corporations that are bleeding the public. Would we ever do that here? No way, because of all the RepubliQ congresspersons and senators on the fossil fuel companies' payroll. But Britain is a democracy with a responsible government, and we have a fatally flawed republic with one party--the RepubliQ--that hates its citizens and will do anything to cling to power.

       Another load of lying bullshit spewed from the anal orafice in the middle of Lewis's head.

"Lying," Davey Dog? I described what Britain is doing accurately. Look it up yourself--I'll bet it's even on Facebook!

 

You stupid fucking asshole. Nasty for no reason. You just want to be a prick. Shove a lit stick of dynamite up your ass. Fuck you.

 

Worthless wrinkled old cunt.

 You might have described what Britain is doing acccurately - but the rest of your insane rant is exactly as I described.

Another reason for oil companies not to drill.  This plan is wrong.

Don't be stupid. The oil companies are making all-time record profits with their existing sources. Those profits should be stripped away and used to help those who are getting fucked over by high fossil fuel prices.

So you admit that all you wanted to do is be an asshole--you had nothing of substance to say.

 

As usual.

Biden tells us the he wants to kill oil.  Biden won't approve pipelines.  Biden tells us that if oil companies drill, he wants to kill oil production in the future.  Drilling projects are obstruced at every turn by Biden.  Kevin and other nut jobs wonder why oil companies aren't drilling.

 

Dumb dumb, dumb fucks!

Why would they drill if they're making obscene, record profits as it is? Of COURSE, Boiler, they want you to believe that they're not drilling because of that horrible, horrible Biden! And you eagerly lap it all up.

 

You're so naive. And you're a good little puppet for the noble fossil fuel industry.

 

Meanwhile, back to the topic: British fossil fuel companies can easily absorb this windfall tax because they have enjoyed for decades the most favorable tax treatment of any British industry. The difference between Britain and the US is that those British companies aren't continually whining about how their no-good gummint always gets in their way.

What is the favorable tax treatment?

 

What does Toxic Kevin think companies do with their profits?
