So instead of asking producers

[3Rfan]

I’m sure share holders wouldn’t like that. You’re still stuck on stupid

I'll bet many of their shareholders are people that wish they didn't pay more for gas than they should have to because big is too greedy. How many normal everyday working folks have retirement accounts that invest their money in stocks like oil and gas?

I'm talking big time investors who make Bank on Oil investments...

Our oil producers don't need protection. We're supposed to be a capitalist economy remember?

We give them enough freebies as it is.

You trumpers are whacko.

But the rest of the world isn't capitalist so sometimes you have to Protect our Companies interest from foreign interests. I'm surprised you can't see the nuances in that situation.

Why would it be bad for our oil producers but not for OPEC? What big oil company in this country is danger of going broke? Making less money is NOT going broke!

I don't think I said they would go broke...but rather said would cut profits, and Profits are why companies exist and why the innovate and drive the economy. Profits are demanded by investors and shareholders they want Money and as much as they can get and it's not a Companies duty to make less money to benefit the consumers.

This is not some Kum ba yah hippie commune situation, this is the real world driven by rewards and money.

The govt. has a obligation to the taxpayer to make sure we get as cheap as energy supply as we can by greasing the wheels of the Energy suppliers. The suppliers have a obligation to make as big as Profits as possible and remain viable as a company.

Blame the Govt. big oil is doing what they are suppose to and always have.
