The Clinton Foundation has accepted millions of dollars from multinational oil companies, such as ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. Clinton refuses to give her opinion on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which environmentalists say would increase carbon pollution dramatically (http://www.nrdc.org/energy/keystone-pipeline/tar-sands-climate-impacts.asp).

I am pretty certain that State Department, then headed by Hillary approved Keystone.

I think all cash transfers to companies and individuals should cease.

Libs make up a list of corporate mooches they want to squeeze and conservatives can do the same for lazy Obama voters and groups like planned parenthood.

Then we can do them all together.

You might be surprised at the results if you really wanted to tally the amount of corporate subsidies handed out and the quantity per corp.


The Fortune 500 corporations alone accounted for more than 16,000 subsidy awards, worth $63 billion

63 billion in just the Fortune 500. Not counting the small businesses, farmers, et. al. You might be shooting yourself in the foot going down this path.

That was just in 2014.

You are full of shit!

They probably will continue to be bought off by those groups just as the dems are bought off by theirs and has nothing to do with minimum wages. I am not even sure you grasp any level of economics on this minimum wage raise other than it sounds good to the socialist party of America. What rate do you think it should be and why do you think it should be raised?

If you can answer that with any economic prowess then tell me if you would rather have more good paying jobs or be marred down in the incompetent democrat economy of lower paying jobs and less jobs.

Hint, more and better paying jobs should be your focus. Not a bunch of talking point wedge issues by the party of socialists and bad economies.

Go back and read up on what the dems/Obama promised economically and look where we are today.

FAIL!

You want to raise the wages to $10 fine go ahead and it won't solve shit. You raise it to $15 you f the economy up more. You have no idea what you are talking about. Hey after this lets argue over 4% on taxes as the next red-herring issue or we can focus on policies that bring trillions back into our economy and encourage investment which grows jobs.

Such a fing head fake by dems to stir up voters.

Actually oil is good. Wait, big oil is awesome. You drive a car due to big oil. Your home is heated due to big oil. Your airplane flight is possible due to big oil.

Fighting against big oil is like fighting against big dairy over you having a child that is lactose intolerant. You may not need milk or big oil but both are for the health of the USA.

Fact is, big oil backs Hillary. And some democrats are upset to learn that.
