US News Article | Reuters.com: "On Tuesday, Senate Finance Chairman Charles Grassley sent a letter to U.S. energy companies, urging them to donate 10 percent of their swelling profits to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).I wish I was part of the elite.
Asked by reporters if the administration supported the plan, Bodman responded: 'No, sir. I wouldn't support it. It is similar to a tax.'
Bodman made his remarks after addressing an energy industry group.
Last year, the LIHEAP program spent $2.2 billion to help poor and elderly Americans pay their winter heating bills. Democrats say the fund should be doubled for this winter."
So I could either help, or jet off somewhere in lieu of a conscience.
