Isn't this the main goal of pretty much every business?

As it should be. I'm not in business to provide a job for someone else, I'm in business to make money.

This is literal nationalization if oil companies. Something that only happens in socialistic countries. frick this.

Yet we all sit and watch, like other countries that this has already happened in.

As if inflated gas prices isn’t already enough of a burden at the pump.


So much for the Democrats being the party of the working man, huh?

These fricking loons probably have no idea that much of these “profits” they complain about goes back to hundreds of thousands of shareholders. Many of these are also employees of these companies.

Yes some corporate execs are going to make more money, but at least they have earned the right too unlike dumbass career politicians

The possibilities (for new taxes and fees) are literally endless. Have you not been paying attention to what we all deal with currently??

first off....when will the people stop voting these fricks in that dont understand that a tax on a company is just filtered down to the consumer. it is essentially a tax on consumers?

second....its frickign laughable to hear and watch the government wag their finger at "Big Oil". the big oil companies make approx 5 cents per gallon of gas and employee thousands. the federal government alone makes 18.3 cents per gallon. Tack on the state taxes and in many states the government is taking 30 cents per gallon all for not doing a frickign thing but suckign the tit of the tax payer.

frick elizabeth warren and sheldon whitehouse. The first priorty for the american taxpayers should be to tell them to frick off.

also why the frick do they continue on this wealth redistribution bullshite. and i love how they will take their cut of that too cause you know they have to wet their beak a little for administering the program.

nothing but a modern day mafia.

Link?

These people really are morons. Like Chevron controls the price of oil
