1. Think they invested in BushCo? Or are they the owners?
I tend to believe the latter.

3. Since they drill off of the Gulf Coast, they should return the profits to
all the citizens suffering from last year's hurricanes. After all, those people ALSO bought gas for their cars, thus helping them earn such high profits.

5. The occupation of Iraq is costing US taxpayers $8 billion a month.
I say we send the bill to these guys. After all, they are the ones that will ultimately benefit from this fiasco. Besides, that still gives them $3 billion profit. :eyes:
