tammy's words - by Tammy Conrado

Democrats are really bad for America

June 10th 2008 16:02
What is wrong with making a profit. I thought that is what Captialism is all about. Well it seems the democrats do not like Capitalism. They want to prevent companies from making profits. We have to blame the oil companies for making money. Well guess what its not all from America. It comes from China and India now also. Why don't the democrats want us to make profits?

I don't understand why we can't be succesfull in our endeavors. It makes no sense to me what so ever. Why can't we better ourselves and our economy. I don't understand what the problem is. Do the democrats want to keep us down because that is what seems to be happening. I wish that they would just realize what is best for the country. When our companies do well than our overall economy is better.

They don't want to drill in America either, which I don't understand. Two of the largest oil finds have been made in Alaska and North Dakota so what is the problem now. The Alaskans want us to drill to help their economy so what is the problem. The area is not populated by people or animals. Why can't we drill in North Dakota.

I for one use to be against drilling off the coast of Florida but now that China and Cuba are going to we should also. Living in Florida I worry about oil slicks in the Gulf but if we have a bigger prescence in the area maybe things will be different.

It gives you a lot to think about. Why don't the Democrats want us to succeed

Tammy, Democrats are not against capitalism, not against any company from making a profit. I, personally, am a firm believer in enlightened capitalism but recognize that without some control, companies like individuals can behave poorly. Under ideal conditions, the earnings of a company, after expenses of operation including reasonable compensation to its senior executives, would be paid to investor-shareholders and the balance invested in expansion and more jobs. What I object to is a corporation paying unreasonable and excessive salaries and benefits to a handful of executives and then acting irresponsibly to the public. For example, when Exxon has profits of $10 Billion per quarter and uses only a small portion to invest in alternate fuels.

I do not begrudge the profits; I would expect the wealthiest corporations to pay their fair share of the costs of government and not engage in tax dodges to avoid responsibility.
I do want this country to succeed but unrestrained oil drilling is a band-aid and does not address the primary issue: we use too much oil and energy resources. And we have sold our soul to OPEC and our economic future to China.

If you think things are bad now, just wait until China calls our IOUs due.
