6. If as a business you invested as much in oil as American taxpayers have...

what kind of return would you expect on your investment?

When oil and other corporations donate to politicians, they expect a return on that investment.

What is our return on our hundreds of billions invested in seizing Iraq's oil and probably trillions invested in securing Middle East oil for you for decades, from propping up tyrants like the Saudis and Shah, to overthrowing elected leaders like Mossadegh, to invading and occupying Iraq?

I can see what oil companies return on that investment is, but not what ours is.
