Well after all its what like 40% taxes on your fuel over there in germany? Or is it higher Andre as I havn't kept up on it?


I like a story I read in a book can't remember the name of it. About the Quatarian oil minister and a european diplomat. and the diplomat was crying about the $100 a barrel price that OPEC was charging at the time. Well the minister said "Tell you what we'll give you free oil for 10 years as long as you give us 50% of your tax revenue in the same time frame. Well the diplomat wanted nothing to do with that proposal.

Just shows you how taxes are such a racatering enterprise. :nonono:

I think its much more sinister. A lot of americans was running the risk of either starving or freezing this winter. And since it is an election year both parties can't run the risk of having disgruntel voters out there.
