RkFast Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 When Obama wins in his landslide, I heard he's gonna drink some fine Vin, piss crude and sh-- out clean coal. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 What, are we running for office against each other? Stop making sh-- up. You asshat. I am supposed to be making money to support the economy and instead I'm searching your old posts. Must have been one of your other personalities who said I also suspect "windfall" would be defined broadly enough (e.g. "making money by selling to the American consumer" - I'm not even being sarcastic, that's about what I'd expect) that going forward the price of oil would be irrelevent. "You made too much money...hand it over" is all this tax amounts to, with "too much" being entirely at the discretion of the government. http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?s=&am...t&p=1114596 Now go fix the economy smartypants.

I see that crude is around $90 or so.....any major changes around you? Interesting, Demand is going in the tank fast, pun intended. Opec is stating that it will try and defend an $80 a barrel price, but with weakness in demand increasing in the US and Europe will OPEC have that much influence. Could oil fall that much further? http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/e...es-monday_N.htm and http://www.business-standard.com/india/sto...p?autono=336384 Merrill Lynch is predicting $50 a barrel and demand is at 2001 levels the last four weeks.

Did you read the part where I said I would expect OTHER PEOPLE to define it that way? My point wasn't that "windfall profits" should be, or even would be, defined that way, but that they could be defined that way, given that the term is used to identify anything considered "excessive"...and ultimately, there's always someone who considers somebody's profit "excessive". Ain't a definition, monkey-brain. It's a reducto ad absurdum argument against an ill-considered concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are many here who thought YOU defined windfall profit that way. You were defining it for Obama and I agree with your definition, which is not your definition, but rather your amusing guess at what Obama might mean by "windfall profits."

Because you acted as lexicographer in applying a definition to the term "windfall profits," which we all conceded that we could not define. That specific enough?
