Oil Profits

Natural resources that are within the earth, beneath the United States belong to the American people.
I am speaking of OIL. The lifeblood of our commerce and comfort, and a necessity of life as we know it.
Why do we give the rights of ownership to a private company, to sell, for a huge profit, to the highest bidder,
while the American citizen suffers under the outrageous price they charge us for the oil that we GIVE to them. This is OUR oil?

Why are the major oil producing countries so rich? Because THEY retain ownership of their oil and profit by it.

Let us sign on to a Constitutional Amendment that deems the oil beneath our feet as a National Treasure,
and then allow the OIL COMPANIES to pay us royalties on every barrel of OUR oil they remove from beneath
the United States Territories.

Why is this important?

Oil that is within the earth, under the United States territory
is a National treasure and belongs to the Citizens of the United States. Let us profit from it, and not give it to the oil companies
to sell it back to us.
