NO. Private companies, let the market control.Uhhhhhhhhhhh......that's what's going-on, presently.....and, Teabaggers are in....
.....FULL-BLOWN
WHINING-MODE!!!!!
Isn't it true. They whine to have the market regulate itself and when it does and then one of their own, the beloved oil companies shit on them, they cry like babies.
Oil companies better be big, the country runs on it.
Obama is the one who wants $9 a gallon gas, so I think we are complaining to the right person.
If The President's gonna be (continually) busted for not doing more about prices-at-the-pump....while still being accused o' being a socialist....he might-as-WELL socialize all Big Oil interests, in the U.S., and SET prices-at-the-pump!!!!
Hell......who's he gonna piss-off; the high-roller$/1%er$/Teabaggin'-lackies?? Fuck them. They're a minority, anyhow.
So would the current federal taxes be dropped as it would seem kind of stupid to collect a tax if you already are collecting the money?
Federal taxes are a flat 18.4 cents per gallon of regular gasoline and with the USA
using in 2010, the United States consumed about 137.76 billion gallons (or 3.28 billion barrels1) of gasoline that's $253 million a year in federal taxes alone.
Nationalize the oil industry?/
What a moronic idea. Whats next. Nationallize all stores, shops, newpapers and everything else in the country??
Hugo Chavez would be proud.
Since there are only two American oil companies, the best nationalizing the oil industry could do is to make sure governent vehicles have gas, but no one else.
We already subsidize BIG OIL, shouldn't we have some say in how they run our business?

Okay, the reality is that the oil industry makes a profit. You want to make it go under? Give it to the feds to run.
And by the way, reading your posts give me a headache... if they contained any logic, it would be different.
I read the author's first line then got a headache from all the dumbass fonts and decided to stop reading.
So, big oil makes a profit from using public natural resources...
And we shouldn't nationalize it, why exactly?
Sure would solve the debt problem.
Big letters. Small dick.
The converse being obviously true as well.Big letters. Small dick.
That's alot like what they say about macho usernames.
Excellent idea.
All oil on federal lands should be drilled and refined by government run operations, at cost, and the products used, as needed, by the military first, civilian government second, at cost,
and any excess put in reserve.
Nationalization of the oil industry, or any industry, for that fact, is unconstitutional.
they pay for the leases, numskull. How many times do you think they should pay?
According to your logic, if I sell you a house, I'm entitled to repossess the house.
Like all leftists, you're a moron.

It is?
Where does it say in the constitution that government can't control an interstate industry that delivers essential materials to the populace?
In fact, as early as the 1819 supreme court case McCulloch v. Maryland, the court ruled against Maryland, and Chief Justice John Marshall, wrote the opinion, which stated that while the Constitution did not explicitly give permission to create a federal bank, it had the implied power to do so under the Necessary and Proper Clause.

And how does that contradict my point?
I didn't say they weren't paying enough, I just pointed out that they are making massive profits from using public resources, and maybe it would bring us more revenue to just do it directly without the middle-man.
