I didn't see anybody moping around and *****ing when the oil industry tanked in 86 and 99.
Crybabys.
And lets not forget the government earned $29 billion BY DOING NOTHING. They had no risk, did nothing to explore for oil. And that doesn't include road taxes, which is the biggest chunk you pay at the pump.
That $29 billion (by itself) makes the government the 23 biggest company in the world, ranked by revenue.

Are they paying the same tax rate as companies with similar revenue?
The answer is no and American Soldiers are defending their profit, chowder my ass.
and it may seem stupid but none of my portfolio has oil stocks because I put my money where my mouth is. Betting on blood is some pretty ****** sick thinking IMO.
Tax all companies equally and let the free market do the rest.
