everyone likes to point fingers at BP for screwing up, but the truth is, US consumers indirectly caused this by demanding plenty of cheap oil...

While BP does make a ton of money they are one of those companies that actually pays little or nothing in federal income tax. Exxon is another one. They have record breaking profits, but don't pay a dime in income taxes because of the way that they structure their companies.
