1. By passing tax incentives, they encouraged The People to take risks and invest THEIR money into enterprises Congress agrued would benefit The People.
2. By taking those incentives away within 5 months of the 2007 Energy Act being signed by the President, sends a chilling message to all those Risk Takers. This does have a negative impact on investors, and even individual farmers.
3. Similarly when in good faith, business sign Long Term Off Shore Lease Agreements with the US Government they expected the Government (their government) would honor the agreement. In January 2007, the Dems immediately began attacking these leases signed during the Clinton Administration. Bye Bye America. Within a month, those Big Oil companies were in China developing their CTL and Power technologies with $125 Billion (U.S.) China put on the table.
4. Again in 2008, these Dems in Congress try to rip the Big Oil Execs for high gas prices. Over and over again. World demand drives up Crude Oil prices, the US is importing Crude Oil. But US Demand is down. The Dems don’t get it! They demand more refineries after Big Oil says refinery capacity hasn’t changed in 20 years. But again the Dems don’t listen. Big Oil says they can’t get the Permits for refineries. Oh, People. Wake up!
