Hillary Clinton Talks About Gas Tax Holiday

Hillary Clinton spoke out today about a gas tax holiday. (Reported on MSNBC.com)
“The oil companies have figured out a way to keep profiting no matter what else happens.” “Over the last three months, while you were being pummeled by high gas prices, Shell’s profits rose by 25 percent, and BP’s by 63 percent. So the oil companies are doing very well, and it’s high time that they helped to relieve the burden of high gas prices on our families and our businesses.”
“There are a lot of people in Indiana who would really benefit from a gas tax holiday.” “That may not mean much to my opponent, but it means a lot to people who are struggling here, people who commute long distances to work: farmers and truckers, who are in the business of driving a lot of vehicles over a lot of miles.” And she again hit Obama for voting in favor of what she calls “Dick Cheney’s energy bill.”
“My opponent talks a lot about standing up to big oil, but when the time came to take action, he voted for the bill that gave billions of dollars in tax breaks to the oil companies, and I voted against it. I didn’t think they needed any more of your money to make a profit.”
