New Poll Shocker - $6 Gas is not desirable

Oregon Catalyst is reporting on a survery recently published by FreedomWorks Oregon that has many interesting tidbits, but one stuck out for me:

70% are unwilling to permanently pay $6 or more per gallon for gasoline to protect the environment

Does this mean Oregonians don't care about protecting the environment? Hardly. What it does mean is that they refuse to swallow the false choice presented to them by environmental extremists that the price of environmental responsibility is $6 gasoline. They believe in the ingenuity of Americans. They believe you can be environmentally-aware and have all the energy you need at an affordable price.

They also understand that for many Americans (the low income ones liberals claim to care about), $6 gas is simply not a sustainable condition.

U.S. Tax Rates Compared to the rest of the world–a.k.a “U.S. Corporations are not the evil empire”

Below is a graph showing our tax rates compared to the rest of the industrialized world (taken from Wikipedia): Two things to note: Our personal income taxes are not as bad as some anti-tax zealots would have you believe…they are lower than most. Our corporate rates, however, are horrific.  They are higher than any other industrialized country save Japan. Lesson to be learned:  it’s easy for politicians to sell lower taxes for individuals.  Much harder to sell lower rates for corporations.  And very easy for liberals to paint corporations as getting off easy (the “big, bad conglomerate” schtick).  However, it’s just not true.  “Facts are stubborn things.”  - John Adams

Negative ads

Questioner mentioned Gordon Smith's offer to stop negative ads on both sides. Merkley - "I don't have negative ads, I have ISSUE ads." Audience laughed - I don't think Merkley was trying to be funny. Bad moment for Merkley.

McCain...will put an end to greed?

In a sweeping statement reminicent of some of the things Barack Obama has said, Senator McCain said today at a townhall meeting: "We're going to reform how Wall Street does business and put an end to the greed that has driven our markets into chaos." My take: Whoa. Put an end to greed? While he's at it, why doesn't he end pride, envy and covetousness? I know he probably didn't mean what he said...but still...not the best use of the language I've ever seen.
