I’m getting a good laugh out of the people whining for nationalization. I would bet at least some of them have a nice part of their net worth tied up in that own oil company .

And that’s what no one focuses on in that ridiculous debate. Behind the evil "Big Oil" is a bunch of individuals. When "windfall profits" are taxed, the comes out of the pockets of individuals who own oil company . Demonize "Big Oil" all you want while you flush your own down the toilet.

    first of all 8.1% profit is not a real lot. do you know the gov makes about the same amount from the oil co’s and they do nothing.

    Actually you’re the only one I see obsessing over oil company nationalization. So, no I don’t wonder!
