15. It is not American Oil, even if it's drilled in American Territory.

Edited on Tue May-11-10 08:02 PM by Althaia

Once it's pulled out of the earth, it becomes the property of multinational corporations, who will sell it wherever they will get the most profit from it. Our government gets a lease fee, but that's all we get. Heck, the oil corporations don't even pay income taxes. Where the oil is drilled has no effect on price and availability.
