Pretty simple poll here.

99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Along with being simple, it must be very small; so small I couldn't find it.

Yeah, there it is if you click on the right thing.  However, I think the poll is a bit simplistic.  The price of oil is influenced by several factors.  All othe things being as is, I would think that adding taxes to the producers wouldn't be much help in moderating the price.

Businesses don't pay taxes. When taxes are raised on business the direct result is that the price of what they produce goes up and Joe Shmoe pays in the end again.
