You may have noticed that didn't actually answer the question.
I'm well aware that leftists want to punish, loot, and if possible, wreck the oil companies.
So far, you haven't explained to me how that will put cheap gas in my tank. Now that I think about it, the Democrats ran on lower gasoline prices in 2006. How'd that work out?
As for "paying," Exxon-Mobil paid more income taxes a year ago than the entire bottom half of the U.S. population. You'd think that would impress some people.
