Ha...you understand wrong. It is illegal for oil to be exported from the United States. Refined products...yes. Do you have a problem with things that are made here being sold abroad for profit?


Alaskan oil is exempt, exports to Canada are exempt, and export anywhere else isn't illegal - it just requires a special license.


That must be a expensive license...Exxon/Mobil can't afford it. Why would anybody but us buy crude oil anyway? We have the only government in the world that makes it more expensive to produce domestically than to import.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
