They cause us to fight expensive wars. And they inhibit alternative transportation and energy source development. Big oil is bad for our economy, our environment, and our national security.

Here we go again... blame the US govt for all the worlds ills. No Nazis, Communists or Islam-facists be involved. How about the Narco-terrorists.. wanna blame the US govt on that.. as you take another hit off your bong!

So you are saying the US is so involved militarily in the middle east because we like sand dunes and it has nothing to do with oil?

One BIG difference is that corporate tax credits create JOBS which result in money to go all around from taxes to the government to money spent in retail and wholesale which also creates jobs.

It depends. if you give a corporation a tax credits to ship jobs overseas, yeah the corporation will create a job-overseas.

Yup defnitely. If drugs were legal and there is no war on drugs, we won't have any narco-terrorists.

result is a nation full of addicts. just look at what happened to NYC by the late 70s.

drug addicts, violence, AIDS, corruptions, and general decay and finally bankruptcy... yep..legalize it.

what tax credit ? .. the journalists who write this shit up have no fucking clue what they are saying... they are also worthless Demo party talking points.

yes.. we need mfg back in US.. but we also need teams of employees overseas who actually sell our products... Sales, marketing, G/A to support the legal operations...

its no different than the foreign company sales force you work with every day..

Buy a Toyota, BMW, Benz, or Volvo lately...

Are you going to disallow the expenses incurred by US companies to sell and support US products sold overseas ?

we did not start the 3 major wars with Israel. the arabs did...
we did not start an oil embargo ... the arabs did...
the arabs have been pursuing nuclear weapons
to kill millions of people in the region, mainly Israel and any allies.

The Middle East problem is everybody's fault:

It's the fault of Muslims for having an irrational hatred of Jews.

It's the fault of Israel for expanding its borders.

It's the fault of Europe for dumping all their Jewish population in the Middle East and redrawing borders after WWII without thinking about all the complexities and consequences rather than dealing with their guilt of the holocaust and reintegrating the populations into Europe.

It's the fault of the United States for using its military might to secure profits for big oil by exploiting Arab nations and killing innocent men, women, and children there.

There's plenty of blame to go around. It is childish to assume that only one side (the other side) is wrong. Atrocities have been committed by all sides. But the bottom line is this shit needs to stop and the best country, whatever that is, should lead the way by example.

the Saudis im sure are laughing calling it exploitation... since they are more wealthier nations than most. If we have so much power... surely we could have destroyed OPEC by now... so how do you explain the OPEC monopoly..

idiotic... to say the least!

With all due respect, Persians aren't arab and arabs aren't hardworking enough in STEM majors to pursue it on their own. The US will never let it fall into 'Arab Hands'. Also, Pakistanis are not arab, nor are Indians.

Spoken like a true ugly American.

There is nothing patriotic about taking the childish and irrational position that your own country is the one and only country in all of human history that has done no wrong. Failing to acknowledge the truth only serves to further harm you country by allowing it to repeat its mistakes. As such, blind flag waving is the least patriotic thing one can do.
