Why should BP pay for the failure of the US government to enact a plan,

Gulf of Mexico.

uh...because BP was making the money? because having the taxpayer pay
for BP's mistakes is a subsidy for the wealthy?

oh. i think we just found out why he thinks there should be a govt
plan...

Obviously the US government failed to perform again. BP
did its part by paying taxes and fees to subsidize the the equipment,

well, no. i'm a chemical engineer. if i blow up the town where i
build a chemical plant is that just tough luck for the folks who lived
there, cuz i paid taxes?

BP paid taxes on its profits it did NOT pay for the right to destroy
everyone ELSE'S means of making a living. you seem to think if a car
thief pays taxes he can steal your car.

manpower, training and the plan. Who dropped the ball? The US
government. Oh, and this occurred on Obama's watch and it is his
disaster and his fault.

and bush murdered 3000 americans on 9/11. it happened on his watch
