Bless the oil companies - 9/26/2011 4:27:41 PM

Status: offline 		PASADENA, Texas (AP) — Three commissioners appointed by Gov. Rick Perry may grant some of the nation's largest refineries a tax refund of more than $135 million — money Texas' cash-strapped schools and other local governments have been counting on to help pay teachers and provide other public services.

The property tax refund would mean more pain for some communities after a year in which state lawmakers grappled with a $27 billion shortfall and slashed spending on public schools by more than $4 billion. Nearly half the refund would be taken from public schools, and those in cities where the refineries are based would be hurt most.

We have a property tax refund program here in PA.  And guess what, you have to be on some sort of social security program (retirement, disability or SSI) to get it.  And it has absolutely no impact on the actual property taxes paid in the state because it is totally funded by the lottery and can only be claimed AFTER one has paid their property taxes.  I claimed it for 3 years between the time I got my house and when I reentered the workforce.

"Never mind..."

If you read into the article, its to pay for pollution control equipment, the extreme leftists want to have it both ways, as always.

From crazy lucys article:

quote:

The refund request has to do with a piece of technology used by refineries to minimize pollution. Beginning in 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began requiring refineries to remove sulfur dioxide from diesel and gasoline in an attempt to reduce vehicle pollution. Many refineries had to either upgrade existing "hydrotreater" units or purchase new, more effective equipment.


Leftists want to drive all industry offshore is the thing, and they want energy costs so high that grandma freezes this winter

As if profits are evil...

Why should they build the refineries that we need here if the extreme leftists we elect are only concerned with punishing them, and driving them into the ground? Those are controls that the extremists demand, and this is a product we need to get the economy moving. 

How are they, and all businesses, not better off moving to China?

1) Why should they build the refineries that we need here if the extreme leftists we elect are only concerned with punishing them, and driving them into the ground?


2) Those are controls that the extremists demand, and this is a product we need to get the economy moving. 

3) How are they, and all businesses, not better off moving to China?





1) The insane hallucinations of a nutsucker, provide us the fact on these punishments, like who and what division they worked in at the oil company is being waterboarded and so on.

2) What the fuck would more oil do to get jobs, there aint no lack of oil in this country.

3) They have been moving to China for years and years. Even under nutsucking administrations, in fact especially under nutsucking administrations.

It is obvious that tonguing rushes ass and general nutsucking policies have caused further putrifaction of sanitys brain.

The leftists he is talking about in this 2006 law would be rinos, nutsuckers, conservatives, republicans and idiots overwhelmingly.

I think he has contracted mad cow disease from preparing Limbaughs toilet and nursing on Limbaughs anus to soften the impaction and ease his defecations.
