We have to buy gasoline from Europe everyday. Everytime the sulfur spec is mandated to go down in the oil products it requires more heat, or another process to meet the specification. Thus adding to the cost of production. In gasoline we consume 12% more than we make. We have to buy gasoline from Europe everyday.

All products are taxed equally. Chavez's country is the salesman. They're selling raw materials. Now we're saying it's okay to tax you to sell something in the United States or more specifically Louisiana. He'll sell his product in Texas, New Jersey, and the Russians if he has too. Successful tax systems levy taxes fairly and equally among industries so not to favor one over the other by creating either a negative or positive advantage. This could limit economic development in a particular industry. Six percent is 6%. It doesn't matter how you slice it. The oil industry has products such as will go down the list. Propanes, butnanes, Gasolines, diesels, kerosenes, benzene, toluene, orthoxylene,and paraxylene. Let suppose a refinery has these nine products. Some our plural because there are different grades. The cost of my crude has gone up 6% . (@ $60 a barrel) That's roughly $3.60 per barrel. Dividing this cost equally amongst the product ranges comes out to .40 cents a a barrel per product. Roughly ten cents a gallon. Not every refinery makes the aromatics compounds. The bottom line everybody everywhere will see the same increase in the price of our products. Remember the oil companies are publically owned entities. they have a fiduciary repsonisibilty to provide shareholders a return on their investments. The sad part about the hole deal is that Louisiana refinieries retooled to survive in the early 80's. This came a great expense. Billions upon billions of dollars were spent to be able to run this high sulfur crude. They made made the investment and struggled in to the 90's. For the last three years thier investment has been paying off. Now I'm not sticking up for them. I believe the price could be lower. Now all of a sudden the deal the oil companies made, to retool and entice foriegn suppliers isn't any good anymore. He wants to take it away. We already hit industry with the utility tax, 3.3% tax on what they spend on natural gas and electric. Now he wants to target the State's leading employer. One of the top sources of revenue. You wonder why we can't entice any new industry here in Louisiana. The tax at the pump does not differentiate between foreign or domestic feed stock. All products are taxed equally.

I have the same fear as you do about the plan. I was concerned about the oil companies just passing off that tax to the consumers. I brought this up to him after the debate. He brought up the point that this tax will be spread out to everyone in our country. It is not just a tax that will be placed on the citizens of Louisiana. This would lead me to believe that the effect on the Louisian consumer will be smaller since it can be spread out across the country. I guess Ill have to ask you this question Tony. Why should we tax the small percantage of gas produced and refined here and not tax the oil coming from Hugo Chavez? Why should Hugo Chavez get tax free gas? And if the market wont bear higher prices of that gasoline, then the oil company will have to eat the costs themselves. Taxes dont always effect price, sometimes they effect profit. It depends on the market.

The oil companies or their customers? Who is going to hurt the most from this tax? Who is going to benefit from this exercise. The customers will pay at least 15-20 cents more a gallon and when I brought this up Foster did not refute it. The lower end income folks will hurt the most. The increase and gas and goods will far outweigh their contribution to the state coffers. The oil industry will stagnate in Louisiana. No sense in adding on we'll only be taxed more. The 3.3% Utility Tax is already a burden. I brought this up and it was not refuted. Finally who will benefit? The State naturally , big time too! The upper income people will be affected the least. Ran out of time I could not get this part in. I agree 100% with you the greatest natural resource in Louisiana is it's people. Who is going to pay the processing fee?

This means that before they simply abandon the thousands of miles of pipeline and billions of dollars of infrastructure in Louisiana to move to Texas, they must first analyze the prudence and economical benefits of making such a move. And what would be the reason for this move? Republican and Democratcs, nestled firmly in the nest of oil money, would like the citizens to believe that the big oil companies will run away like a 14 year old bride at an arranged marriage if we impose any fees or environmental operating costs on them. This is simply untrue. The oil companies must first compare costs: will it be cheaper to pay a processing fee or it will it be cheaper to rebuild the infrastructure somewhere else? The answer is it would be vastly more expensive, not to mention highly problematic, to rebuild the infrastructure in any other state.

The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill is a an instrument designed to address disasters, agricultural crises and threats of institutional shutdown. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO FUND WARS. Wars are historically funded in the regular budget. By placing Katrina money in the Emergency Supplmental, Congressional Democrats followed the law. What is illegal is Bush's decision to fund the war for the 4th year in a row in an emergency supplemental. And he does this, as he can corner those who oppose it with the "stay the course," "support the troops," "be a patriot" rhetoric. This was the Congressional Dems's first stab, and there will be others. There are already 5 bills passed by Pelosi awaiting Senate approval that deal with recovery in one way or another. So let us stick the facts and acknowledge that Blanco has effectively lobbied congress. and let us stick to the facts and acknowledge that the emergency supplemental bill is the instrument with which one funnels money to a disaster area. and let us stick to the facts and acknowledge that jindal's support of bush's war in an emergency supplemental in 2005, 2006 and 2007 while refusing to place money for katrina which is the whole reason an emergency supplemental instrument exists reveals that Jindal does not know the law and does not care about louisiana. learn the law; learn congressional procedure; and then you can make comments. supporters of jindal are not just uninformed; they are stupid.

If that was such a good idea, why didnt Congressman Bobby Jindal do it? Seems to me that Jindal is not taking up the leadership roll as someone who was supposed to have all this "clout" in D.C. If he cannot be a leader in his own party, and his own delegation, then how can we expect him to lead our state? And while you are free to criticize Blanco, I am questioning why you are doing so on a site that is about the Governors race and Bobby Jindal in particular. I don't think it's fair to play politics with Katrina money either. That is why I am wondering why Jindal voted against the money to begin with!

According to the Division of Administration, which oversees the grant program, the program spent $2.6 million on advertisements that ran from August through October, when the program was just getting under way. The ads ran throughout Louisiana and in Houston, Dallas and Atlanta, where many displaced storm victims have relocated. The most recent commercials began running in March and were scheduled to cost $1.4 million. The cancellation means about $900,000 worth of those commercials actually ran. If this much is wasted on ads i wonder how much was wasted on other things.So before we blame others would we be wrong to ask to see where are all the billions that were sent to us are being spent.I am sure an audit could be done and then used to show why we deserve more money. But that would be expecting a Governor to do there job.

But we do have some good news for louisiana and that is Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, said he is introducing legislation that would provide the same $6.9 billion in hurricane recovery assistance .He does not feel it is fair to play politics with the katrina money. This is what Governor blanco should have demanded out of her own party ,but we saw how important we were. So when you blame others for blanco not doing her job,will you give Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman credit for doing what should have been done to start with.
