Fox contributors: Don't boycott, don't regulate, don't tax big oil

[JeffersonChick]

Just thought I'd share.

Mike Ozanian: "Reagan's point was, don't rely on government to solve your problems. If you look at the energy industry, or the car industry, or financial services, they are the most heavily government-regulated industries. And not by coincidence, they are also the industries with the most problems."

Tobin Smith: "It's a recession! This is not the time or a place for Americans to be boycotting our own good and services while we're struggling to pull ourselves out of a recession. This will absolutely hurt the economy."

Tobin Smith: "All these new fees and taxes that are going to be imposed on oil companies are eventually going to be passed on to the American consumer which could have us all paying more at the pump."

Scuba says: nationalize BP, use future profits to clean up the mess and compensate victims.
