I get more than that because I own shares in a few oil companies. The shareholders get the difference, not 'the USA.' If more Americans invest in our industry (ie, give us cash for sticky black stuff), the better off we are.
If you want a share, pay for it. Why do you expect to get money for doing nothing?
You can buy shares in Royal Dutch Shell on the NYSE under the ticker symbol RDS.A (other share options available) if you want a share of that Dutch wealth. You see, it's not based on national lines, it's based on whatever individuals own the companies.
The toxic water is from gas exploration in the South, not from heavy oil extraction. It was likely a natural thing in many areas that is just blamed on the gas industry.
