Someone looked up recently and Exxon’s Return on Investment is about 35% of Apple’s.

I say we seize all the money.

We can keep it a my house.

I have been reading that Obama wants to cut the 4 billion from the Oil companies and give it to the Windmill and solar panel guys.

I don’t call that cutting, I call that pissing away 4 billion dollars.

If we are gpoing to cut any subsidy , lets start with the ethanol subsidy.

“When you make $10 Billion in profits in 12 weeks, why do you need subsidies? This is a rip off.”

The subsidies were meant to encourage the oil companies to take risks in drilling.

But...since we no longer permit drilling, I agree, they’re not needed. Maybe President DeMint can restart those subsidies, once he gets us drilling.

Ya know.....when you can make $10 Billion in 12 weeks, what more incentive do you need? It may have started as an incentive but now it’s just a give away.
