By: BadJackFluffypants. on 27 May 12, 17:29:00
Due to our recent exchange I assume you count me among the "jerks." If you continued listening to 2:55, Thom blithely absolves Obama of blame because if he actually acted ethically on conservation issues, the oil barons would take him down with super-PAC donations. Whew, just in time ("Obama just CAN'T be corporate-owned the same as those bad guys are."). I echo Strutinan's? question (above).

By: exenrontexas. on 26 May 12, 04:00:56
Our products pipeline carried regular gasoline, premium gasoline and propane at different times. I do not know what method they used to? keep the liquid products separate although pigging pipelines was a common practice. Pigging is sending a solid plug through the pipe to clean out waste by products such as water which often accumulates. The "pig" often carries a transmitter so that they can track the pigs progress. I worked for the natural gas pipeline group of that company.

By: henleythecat. on 26 May 12, 03:36:20
"Typically products pipelines never carry exclusive products." I didn't know that. That business case I was making came from some oil futures traders, so I guess there where some fine points that were missing. I think we are in agreement regarding the dangers of building the pipeline, regardless? of the business case made by those who are promoting it. Thanks.

Typically products ...
By: exenrontexas. on 26 May 12, 03:29:24
Typically products pipelines never carry exclusive products. They have one pipeline and then different products at different times. I worked for a big energy company that ran one from Texas to Iowa. There are several refineries already in operation in the nothern midwest like Chicago. It seems to make no sense to transport dirty oil across the breadbasket of the world and a? fresh water supply that covers five states & supplies millions of people.There are plenty of diesel in Asia not just cars.

Not sure why you ...
By: henleythecat. on 26 May 12, 02:10:11
Not sure why you think what I wrote was "spin". I agree with your statement re: oil tar being remarkably dirty & the risk to fresh water sources. Most of the diesel cars in the world are in Europe, not Asia. It is cheaper to build a pipeline south then west across the Rockies. There is already existing refinery capacity in TX. No matter how you refine crude, you are going to get multiple products, and pipelines for each product cost more then? a single one for crude. I didn't make this up.

That is ...
By: exenrontexas. on 26 May 12, 01:55:00
That is unimaginable spin and here is why. IF they are going to build a pipeline anyhow it is much cheap to build a refined products pipeline as many already exist. I disagree with you markets statement since the planned market is ASIA, not Europe, specifically China. Big OIL follows the money and the money is in Asia. The Canadian oil tar is remarkably dirty and remarkably toxic and if they have a spills? like Central Nebraska it would wipe out the largest underground source of fresh water.

By: henleythecat. on 25 May 12, 23:28:19
"No one has explained why the dirty Canadian oil has to be refined in the Texas" Two? reasons. 1. The Canadians have a limited market in the mid-west and can only charge what that small market will pay. With the oil going to TX, it gives them access to other markets at higher prices (Mid-West will have to pay up). 2. US Oil companies want to export finished products to Europe, where they can charge a higher price then in the US, then shelter the profits off-shore.

By: exenrontexas. on 25 May 12, 22:17:01
Much of the Alaskan oil goes to...COMMUNIST RED CHINA to help them take even more US jobs just like, IF we allow it, the Keystone XL? pipeline oil will. No one has explained why the dirty Canadian oil has to be refined in the Texas Gulf Coast and NOT in Canada except that Canadians will NOT allow it because of the highly polluting waste by products.

If you look at ALL of the 2012 GOP Presidential candidates that were in this race and proudly waved the Tea Party banner, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Santorum, Paul etc...they are all JOKES now. Romney is the GOP nominee because he was SMART enough to avoid the Tea Party at all costs.

By: Roonskii. on 16 May 12, 06:01:06
The cost of the Iraq war war? are estimated at 4,000,000,000,000 dollars. If you don't create enemies with that kind of killing power, you are mistaken. Obama spending, if you want to call it that, spending bills start in the House, is for mops and buckets. Who would have mcGoon and sarah palin nominated to the supreme court and how much would a war with Iran cost the poor and middle class in this country? You don't have an argument here other than against yourself. Wise up.

If you disliked Bush, you should dislike Obama just as much. He's as much a hawk, there's no difference in their foreign policies, and as for domestic policies? Obama just sends the money flow to whoever gives the biggest contributions. And don't forget the $65 billion pissed away by Obama on alternative energy boondoggles.

Bush was a terrible president. Obama continued all of Bush's policies and added some bad policies of his own. Obama made himself sound like a? dove - and yet increased military spending and activity every year he was in office. You have some thinking to do, Obama-drone.

By: Roonskii. on 15 May 12, 05:58:24
It's not crony capitalism, it is capitalism, where profit is put over? people and our planet. Maybe your efforts would be more well spent attacking lobbyist for those companies manufacturing those drones, the lobbyist selling them, and the oil interest continuing these wars. If you don't like war vote to defund them, there is election coming up. During the last one, Obama's opponent was chanting bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran. He was the smart one out of that failed duo. You have some thinking to do.

By: megagagnon1. on 15 May 12, 03:42:52
Obama is a peacenik? Not quite. He's spent more on the military than Bush, expanded the drone program, sign away our 4th amend rights (NDAA), not to mention what he's doing in The Sudan. Haven't heard? Yes, we've got drones flying around in The Sudan now. The Pakistan parliament unanimously voted to tell Obama to stop the drones? strikes - and Obama ignored them and drones on. He's never prosecuted a banker, and half his administration are lobbyists or banksters. Crony capitalism works for you?

By: megagagnon1. on 14 May 12, 19:40:23
They should convict Obama, a far more egregious war criminal than Bush, Cheney et al. Drone killings are against the Geneva Conventions - ununiformed combantants - and Obama has drone killed more than 4x as? many as Bush jr.

By: hockeyhops68. on 07 May 12, 05:52:58
The problem with communism is human nature. You always need someone? to enforce the will of ALL. Communism/Socialism always needs a Stalin to enslave the naturally bright and hard-working in order to work. The problem with the Bill Ayers type thinking is that it lacks perspective. The concept of masterminds developing the greater good is impossible. The nature of man is in fact the antithesis of conformity, and in order for the a communist society to succed everyone must conform.

I appreciate the response and keeping it non combative. I will disagree with you though due to the fact of? population difference. We give the EU billions a year, yet their programs just like our programs are failing. Socialized health care works pretty well in places like Canda, but there's only 30 million people there. I don't see how socialism promotes much good in the long run, just like history has shown. Communism in the Native American tribes? Do explain.

By: jeffmfernandez. on 26 Apr 12, 09:02:53
Watch "The Billionaires Tea Party" here on YouTube. You'll get the names and history here. By the? way, just because your parents had the money to send you to a fancy private school doesn't mean others should not be able to get an education just because they are poor. I know libertarians are anti-public education, but we need an educated work force to be a stronger country. We will always have drop outs to perform meanial jobs, but it should be a choice. Or do you want a caste system like India?

By: jeffmfernandez. on 26 Apr 12, 08:48:54
The greatest years our country ever saw (1942-1980) are an example of socialism working perfectly. The only thing missing was universal healthcare. There are several european countries that are also good examples of socialism currently working. Communism worked with the Native Americans until the Europeans showed up. There are many examples. Thom Hartmann isn't against capitalism, just? facism.

By: platoonboss. on 17 Apr 12, 04:18:31
There is no dispute over the facts of this historic event, but why does Hartman hide the name of this mystery corporation that supposedly funds hundreds of independent Tea Party organizations. My group has no funding save the occasional donations of $10-20 dollars from the members. We don't even pay dues.? We stand for reducing taxes and government waste. That's it. Let me know who this mystery corporation is, we could use a few bucks, but they will be wasting their money on us.

What did a wise man say, "Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned fascism will take it away"? When the middle class turn off the television, pick up the books written by the men who? struggled for fairness and equality and realize that capitalism has nothing to do with the concepts upon which this nation was founded but instead is a lie perpetuated by the parasites that would live off the fruits of our labors, then we will see if the suits still walk around smug, stuffing their pockets.

I'm still mad at Obama , Romney, and Paul...Obama would at least keep the decay at the same pace. However, I have two severe anxiety? disorders. When it first came-up, i was put on a revolving door of medications, most mad me sick. I tried Pot, and a few "bowls" a day and I felt fine, and got through university with high grades, but then I had to stop because I needed to find a job. Now, I'm on 10 medications, 4 of which are to help with the side effects of the others, and they don't even help.

David Selig, Federal Tax Practitioner & Tommy Christopher, Mediaite.com join Thom Hartmann. A coalition of politicians in Virginia barred a man from becoming a judge in the state - just because he was gay. Has anything really changed since President Obama threw his support behind marriage equality?

Secondly, I'll play devil's advocate......let's say you really are concerned that gay marriage would add a billion dollars to the deficit.

So it's not the 900 billion dollars a year we spend on bombing and detaining innocent civilians foreign and domestic that's the problem......it's the gays.

The welfare state is not optimum - there is? no doubt of this. It DOES promote laziness and corruption. But the hidden truth is that it is the only thing allowing capitalism to exist. If you let the poor starve, or die in hospitals, or fend for themselves on the streets, the poor become quite angry about it. We had massive labor problems, and the communist party was quite strong in America, BEFORE the welfare systems were implemented, and we've had 80+ years of relative prosperity WITH them.

By: jimbills. on 23 Apr 12, 03:28:14
In short, because the wealthy have the means to pay higher taxes, and the poor don't. Even much of the middle class can't afford an extra rise in expenses. The poor and middle class get "taxed"? in inflation and cost of living. The wealthy, who are beyond caring (much) about such things, are also in the position of profiting from inflation and cost of living (by having the capital to own the businesses that provide such things). Higher oil prices = record profits = more $ for the wealthy.

By: Wyominghusker1. on 22 Apr 12, 15:12:28
Why do progressives always go after "the rich" to pay their fair share? The top 10% income earners pay 70% of all state and federal income taxes. Why don't they go after able bodied welfare recipients? I work my ass off and pay my fair share of taxes to a corrupted welfare state. Dems and progressives want to punish those who contribute to the system and reward laziness and dependency on the? welfare tit to maintain their power.

Perish the thought that they gave him that money because they expected political favors from him. Poor Bain Capital, all the libs attack them and all they want to do is give people jobs and hand nice men like Corey Booker tens of thousands of dollars for being such a good ol' fellow. Remember the money was given to him for being a great guy, not for favors

By: BarbaraJD. on 28 May 12, 14:01:49
Oh Thom, the president's "signing? statement" on "indefinite detention" was worthless, isn't binding for even his own presidency & certainly doesn't stop future presidents from using it's full power. It's the worst blow to civil liberties to date, & was fully supported by Obama which makes his signing statement even more disingenuous if that's possible. It is his greatest mistake & his greatest shame since taking office, & throws the concept of his having any progressive ideals into question.

By: xxcrysad3000xx. on 25 May 12, 15:28:25
Populism is as vibrant as ever on both sides. Right-wing populism takes the form of saving American jobs, anti-immigration laws, agriculture subsidies, and appeals to family values and the multifarious liberal ideas that threaten them. Left-wing populism? has manifested itself nicely in the anti-corporate, anti-collusion, anti-government, leftover Marxist utopian incoherence that is the Occupy movement. Populist pandering should be equally loathsome to thinking individuals on either side.

They then charge their U.S.-based operations inflated amounts for the use of these rights. These inflated costs get deducted off U.S. taxes. The overseas tax haven? profits go un- or lightly taxed.

Accounting games like "transfer pricing" have sent the corporate share of federal revenues plummeting. In 1945, U.S. corporate income taxes added up to 35 percent of all federal government revenue. This year, corporate income taxes will make up just 9 percent of federal receipts.12 In 1952, the year Republican President Dwight Eisenhower was elected, the effective income? tax rate for corporations was 52.8 percent.
