It costs so much money to drive my big truck and cool my enormous house and afford business class airplane tickets and now I can't afford my Carnival Cruise to Florida! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"

Oil Industry Guy When Gas Prices Go Down: "Oh shit! Oh fuck! I'm unemployed, broke, foreclosed on, and drowning in debt! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"

Oil Industry Guy When It's Time To Form A Union: "Fuck you, you fucking socialists. I don't need the government to do anything for me. I can pull myself up by my own bootstraps!"
