The Ethics of Our Oil Policy

by Ken Vincent, Featured Contributor

Our oil policy is confounding to me. On the one hand many of our government leaders chastise the oil companies for making a 4% profit on a gallon of gasoline. Yet it doesn’t bother them that they have a 15% tax on that same gallon of gas. Four percent is greed, but fifteen percent Opinion Yours Countssn’t?

What is even more confusing is our policy of spending hundreds of billions of dollars buying oil from countries that are our avowed enemies instead of drilling our own huge oil reserves. Yes, yes, I know we don’t want to endanger some fish or frog, or toad, or beetle. Bah, it doesn’t bother the same people that the countries we are buying oil from may be endangering some species in their country. To make matters worse the countries that we buy oil from then uses the billions of dollars to buy weapons from France, Russia, and even us to arm terrorists and support terrorist training camps.

What am I missing here? Not an ethical issue you say? Really. What is ethics except the practice of moral standards and what is moral about our oil policy?
