If it weren’t for oil this country wouldn’t be the richest nation on earth. Tell me how oil has made Americans poorer when the oil companies make .08 cents per gal. on gasoline and the government makes .14+ cents per gal.?
This isn’t about the oil companies. This is about sending our wealth to other than our own economy and to people that don’t like us and many other reasons. Oil has done a lot of good but its time to move on.
