Today when the House passed a bill rolling back the subsidies for the oil companies, several Republicans said that the oil companies "needed the money" for exploration and drilling.
Exxon is making about $10 BILLION per QUARTER--and the others aren't far behind. Its obvious these senators don't give a rat's *** about the consumer, but how can they stand there and say somthing that stupid width a straight face?

A few years ago, Dwayne Andreas, the head of Archer Daniels Midland, the world's largest food and agriculture company, said that we do not have capitalism in America. He said we have "Corporate Socialism." He's in a place to know.
One of the primary goals of the Republican Party is to redistribute taxpayer dollars upwards to wealthy corporations and individuals.
Very few corps today believe in the central tenet of capitalism, which is "risk." Why should big oil shoulder the risk of drilling a dry hole when Republicans will have you and I do it.

That rule of economics does no longer ensue unavoidably, and with record income, the position is the rub? i wager you imagine that Oil and gas agencies pay off tax cuts because they don't experience it truly is honest to save some thing they have not earned. Ha Ha we are able to no longer and could no longer do some thing like your communities movements, The ok highway Gang and Iraq!

Well, when we know that we have access to oil in Alaska, and the Democrats won't let us drill there, the oil companies have to look elsewhere.

Where were the dems when the oil companies were breaking even? While you're at it, why don't you claim the government owns part of those profits!
