Bullshit. The government already makes more than the oil companies per gallon of gas sold. Didn't you know that rougly 1/2 of the price of gas is tax? Also, for the 90% or so of the tax burden which is federal, why should the citizens look to the private sector when there is oil washing up on their shores??? They pay the federal government a huge slice of their blood, sweat, and tears. 1/2 of the money they pay for gasoline goes to the government, not BP. Whether or not BP is responsible is irrelevant. The citizens pay the government, they look to the government for a solution. Goverment has failed to deliver one...
LOL!!! Yeah, nationalize it, so it can work really well. You know, how Social Security and home Fanny/Freddy did, right? LOL!!!!! I love how socialists try to use the failure and incompetence of government to justify the implimentation of more government. LOL!!! Govt failure?? That's easy.... just create more government!!! That musta been the problem all along, there just wasn't enough government!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
As any of us really needed any verification or illustration as to what a deranged crackpot this guy is. He's suggesting we seize the assets of a strongly allied nation who's a dominant world power and nationalize them. This is straight out of the soviet playbook.
"Whether or not BP is responsible is irrelevant." No need for further discussion... You are completely incoherent.
"He's suggesting we seize the assets of a strongly allied nation." So BP is owned by Great Britain? Since when... Do some research, please. Kuwait owns 27% of BP, etc. 95% of BP oil comes from the US... http://memes.org/kuwait-owns-bp-and...ships-oil-kuwait-then-kuwait-sells-it-back-us
I know you're not so bright, so I'll take it easy on ya.... 100%- 27% = ???? Oh and it doesn't matter where the oil comes from, it matters who owns the company.... You're welcome.... LOL!!!!!!!!
Did I every say that BP is owned by Great Britian? The answer of the question will reveal your ignorance. It's a British company, hence the UK is obligated to protect the legal rights of it's shareholders. One of those rights is to not have their assets seized by the rogue actions of a foreign government.
