That's just the kind of voter the politicans love.   The kind that
thinks the more money the govt has, the better off we all will be.
How successful have many of the govt programs been?    LBJ declared
war on poverty in the 60's and 4 decades and trillions of dollars
later, the poverty rate is about the same.   They did create lots of
single parent welfare families with lots of kids though.

The govt already gets half of the oil company profits.   What's left,
a lot returned as dividends to investors, which include many
retirement plans that provide income and pension benefits to Americans
of modest means.   And a lot of it gets invested back in exploring for
new oil.   All of that is better than sending off to a rat hole in DC.
