Default Re: Are Oil Companies Breaking the Law and If Not Should Laws be Changed

There is another esoteric twist to consider.

The present administration has, with its foreign policy actions, pretty much declared oil to be "national asset". To protect this asset the administration is willing to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers and billions of dollars of tax money. So, if our tax dollars are being used to nationalize this resource and as a direct consequence of this we are now seeing $60 plus oil helping to create the windfall for some companies, should we not be looking to get some of our tax dollars back?
