We just cannot directly buy oil from those countries that produce it. I think the biggest oil stock market is in America. Fairly speaking, im not blaming anybody since America is getting their people to buy oil as expensive as we do from them. Oil business is one of the only few ways that make alot of money for the us during this time of economic crisis there, i think.

I don't really think the US is making a killing in the oil business with the exception of traders and speculators, which not many of us are. If we were, our economy would be booming and the dollar would be rising among world currencies, which is certainly not the case. In fact, as the largest oil consuming nation, it hurts our economy more than it does most others.
