Well, I disagree with your political point of view, but it's true that's what's bad for the oil and gas companies is good for the rest of the economy. I think Slick Willy would veto any attempted tax cut by the Republicans. I'm an independent, but think that Clinton has crossed the morality/ethics/legal line way too many times. Though, I think he'll probably serve his term, as far as I am concerned he is a disgrace to the presidency and a terrible example to our young people. I hear them say: "If the president can cheat and lie, then why shouldn't I?" Anyway, I digress. I'll step off my soapbox. Have a good weekend.

james-- cutting consumption taxes is hard...people dont understand the real impact it would have not only on them personally, but on the economy as whole. of course, what they want is for the government to cut their income taxes, IMHO something that should not be done. besides, were the republicans to cut the taxes on gas and diesel, the demos would scream that they were giving welfare to the rich oil companies. its all a bunch of BS, as is so much in politics. what we need is to fundamentally restructure the government...and ditch the internal combustion engine<G>. of course, thats not going to happen until gas goes to 5.00/gallon or more. still, i would like to see a floating tax rate that promotes consumption and investment. good luck to all, trey
