So you are in favor of billions of dollars in taxpayer money - we're broke, remember? - going to the five most profitable oil companies, huge companies that pay zero or few taxes.
We are broke - and you want my and your tax dollars to subsidize those private profit centers with
welfare dollars? 
Since when is it right for the American people to pay for the profits of private companies and their shareholders?
No, that's not right in the least! BP should pay the 9.9 billion dollars it costs to clean up the gulf due to their oil spill. Not me. Not you.
