I don’t begrudge a single dime the oil companies make. They deserve it. It’s not easy work and there are no guarantees. Wells being drilled in this area are upwards of 5 million dollars a hole, whether they strike oil or not. Government gets their 100% profit take without one bit of risk.

If people where smart, they would quit whining about oil companies and instead, invest in them so they can share the profits.

..but WhinoCons are just invested in whining...
