Let the oil company's fail?  Do you guys have jobs? Every construction company I have ever worked for relies on the constant uninterrupted supply of diesel to get their shit to the job site . And most of the heavy equipment used to put shit together is powered by diesel. So there goes my job. If you work in a grocery store ,dam near any store or a warehouse your job probably relies on a diesel powered 18 wheeler to pick shit up or drop shit off. And let's not forget about the drivers.
  Do you guys like to eat? I do. Guess who also relies on diesel ? FARMERS!  They need it to harvest shit . They get their own special diesel called red dye diesel.  It's not really special , just tax free .
  You know who makes jet fuel for our military? Our oil company's and their refineries . The airforce is gunna hate you . I'm guessing our commercial airlines and the people who need them would have something to say about your plans  as well.
  If your house is on fire or threatened by a forest fire the firemen are going to want to drive their fire truck  ,helicopter ,or plane there to put water on it. 
    Haven't even said anything about gas yet. Something as simple as a fire in a refinery  or equipment failure that causes them to flare can cause prices to go up. Do you expect the price to go down if they fail?
  So what I gather from you is you want seriously hurt the construction industry, and most other jobs, disrupt our food supply , hurt our air force , hurt our commercial airline industry , send the price of gas through the roof  and watch everyone's fucking house burn down. Yay thumbs up for you guys!

What the oil company's give us is way more important than what we give them, we just give them our money, they give us everything we need to make life in the modern world securely and reliably happen . Your liberty and security is not maintained by your second amendment right , the mafia will always have you outgunned . That comes from our governments ability to enforce laws , and the cops need to put gas in their cars to do that.
      We could maybe let the other 2 fail , but let our oil company's fail and your dime will be more useful to you melted down and moulded into a bullet you'll have nothing to spend it on.

the oil companies don't get 'bailed out'  They get tax credits when they produce oil in other countries and those countries tax the shit out of them.  They do get subsidies for research.

What is the government's stake?  Well, the Federal Government makes more money off the oil the oil companies produce than the oil company does. 

Now the banks, that is another story. :mad:

without government assistance the oil companies will simply need to be better managed.

i don't think they are necessarily poorly managed. They would just be better managed without gov. subsidies.

Oh, right.  I think the govenment meddling on all levels creates inefficiencies and also creates crutches that the companies depend on.  But unlike GM, etc, oil companies are self-sustainiing.

The difference is lefties don't support the rich. Which as far as I'm concerned is following majority rule. :lol: I have no problem with liberal republicans though.



the left support the rich just as much as the right. The crucial difference? The left want big business and big government to be one and the same. The right want big business to exist, just separate from the government.



Is that why the right likes to bail out companies (obama did it to, not a fan of that) and give big subsidies to the corporations? I think you got it the other way around.




The right doesn't want to bail out any businesses it doesn't ruin itself.  The Republicans do.  Not the same thing.

By the way, not taxing me does not equal subsidizing me any more than not robbing me means you gave me money

It is a small-minded opinion to think that all left-wing students are unwilling to hear opposition.

The man in the video is very condescending and overly opinionated.  He should practice what he preaches and spread the love a little more :heart:

As one comment said:
"If dictionaries had pictures or videos, then this would be the caption for ''Irony''."


--------------------
"lsdkiwi ignored every person that gave him advice that conflicted with what he wanted to hear.
He's the type of person who blames all his problems on others, and refuses to accept any sort of responsibility for things that take place in his life. This thread was a complete waste of time."

"They hate us 'cause they ain't us" - Kim Jong Un

One day we'll look back on these times and wonder how people could have been so discriminatory against pot smokers during the prohibition era.  This is a fight for the right to explore altered consciousness at will for both spiritual and recreational purposes.

The way I see it socialism would be the natural state of society without government. Without limited liability given to companies by the government the current stockholder/LLC structure could never exist. The difference between socialism and capitalism is a mere alteration of the corporate structure. Mondragon Corporation does socialism right. Without the gov every company would too.

lol. It's so simple!!!

Theres a finite supply of capital, market share, and consumers, the same way there is a finite supply of jobs.

Not everybody can be a successful entrepreneur, the model of our economy explicitly forbids it. And statistics support that fact.
