turned down the increase in tax on oil companies.

Why should the government dictate the profit of any company? Don't you like capitalism? What you are suggesting is socialism more so by controlling how much a private company makes on its goods or services without allowing them to explore or drill for more oil. How does that make sense? You tell a company they can only make so much $ on what they are selling and in turn control them from making the product cheaper by not allowing them to explore or drill for more oil If we opened up drilling the price of oil would drop in half. Also employees don't pay all of payroll taxes employers pay SSI and Medicare as well if I am not mistaken
