				 | Nothing like a little neo-wannabe taking quotes slightly out context to scare the dumb people who don't understand. And I thought it was the far left who were the intellectual elitists!

 |  Nothing out of context whatsoever.  It is what it is but Neo-comms prefer to ignore what it is. |

Do you really believe Hillary wants to take away all  oil profits?
 
Don't you think most Americans would like the Government to do more to incentivise business to be more green and energy independent?
 
You do realize that the US Taxpayer has been subsidizing the entire oil industry via the US Military for the past 90 years don't you?
 
Isn't it time they got a divend?

Your question is moot. The government already siezes a percentage of profit.

Actually the Gubmint seizes a % of net income before taxes Hillary wants to take it to a whole new level by seizing net income after taxes (profit).  Good idea right?  Keep on defending her.  It's expected. |

				 | I'm still wondering how posting a video of Hillarys speech is out of context.   I can understand why they wouldn't want it shown but claiming it's out of context is just lame. |

Hillary's plan is to ensure the Industry is investing in areas to ensure economic and national security where we're falling behind today. The public certainly doesn't think industry is moving fast enough in these areas. 
 
So the companies can still turn a large profit, no issues there.

The government regulates many facets of industry to ensure alignment for the common good.
