Folks time to buy shares in BP this is all a huge ploy to get a new oil tax passed in AK same thing with the oil shortage in the 70s to get the pipeline passed low and behold it worked last week the AK legislator passed a new oil tax where the oil companies tell the state how much taxes they will pay instead of the other way around. Why the hell did they wait untill a week ago to do this? THey knew of the problems in MARCH. BP has bent the state over and is putting a baseball bat in our asses.
