A discussion about business ethics, character traits, integrity, and values

The United States of America is headed for disaster oilbearing countries can shut down our oil at any time and collapse our government in days without firing a shot. our government has no alternative energy. We have no leadership whatsoever. This should be our number one concern. Just think no more electricity no more fuel to drive our cars or to transport or food and goods to market. Everything shut down. The United States government is a disgrace. Doing business with communist China giving our jobs to Communists. Depending on our fuel from foreign countries eliminating the middle class taxing us for everything holding us upside down by our ankles and shaking us until our pockets are inside out. We need to kick Uncle Sam in the balls and tell him we've had enough we need money to be eat and put a roof over our families heads. Eating well over three dollars a gallon do you think the president is worried about the senior citizens were freezing this winner or who were eating dog food. The government does not care about us. we Must unite and ask Washington why? What are they trying to do to the American people. The oil-producing countries know that they can stop production and collapse our government in days if I figured it out I'm sure they could. Where is our government?

The United States government has turned our currency into worthless paper. What will be left for our children? Turmoil, poverty, unstable government? the Washington cronies are milking the American people dry to profit from their own agenda. Corruption in every facet of the government. Leadership with no sense. Soon it will be cheaper to wipe our rectum's with our currency than buying toilet paper. The American people are too lackadaisical and do not have the same beliefs as our forefathers that made our nation great. The American government would never let an air Car take the place of a gasoline car because of their greed. Did you know that $.50 per gallon goes directly to the government. They are more worried about the oil companies than the Americans. Putting our valiant military heroes in harms way to profit from oil. It makes me sick to say I'm an American.

We do business with Hugo Chavez,China, why not Cuba what's the difference?

Vote for me a true blue American and I will take care of you. Steelworkers, manufacturers, garment workers, union workers transportation workers, every United States citizen will buy American. No more outsourcing everything made in the USA and sold in the USA. Vote for me a real American.

George Washington is turning in his grave.

We the people?

Ummm, interesting. I don't know that 50 cents per gallon of gas goes to "the government." It varies by state and by region, and "the government" is divided into federal, state and local entities. I think on average about 60 percent of those taxes are used for road improvements across the country. I tend to think that ExxonMobil, et al, are more the culprit than "the government." They've had their largest profits ever - for what, six quarters in a row now? But, if the market bears it.... Where's Pat Paulson when we need him?

u.s gov should be working on other energy sorces befor its to late. we are in great danger not having any type of backup energy sorces.

The government? Surely private industry will be more likely to develop alternative energy sources. There's no money in it for the government, is there? What is it, an average of 50 cents per gallon of gasoline goes to federal, state and local governments. It seems unlikely the government would do anything to disrupt that.
