Reinvest or not, it's their money to do with what they want. Regardless.
And we are losing manufacturing jobs because of government intervention in the form of tax laws, environmental laws, and entitlement programs to workers that have left the builders no other choice.

So, what was up with that 'share the wealth' statement from Palin based on her redistribution of oil company profits?

She seems to be of the mind that the people of Alaska own the resources. As I understand it.

That sounds pretty socialisticy to me. I thought the oil companies owned that oil? They are the ones who create jobs!

Look, you can make all the apologies for your messiah, but she said 'share the wealth' which is a socialist ideology and therefore she is a socialist.

What did Reagonomics do besides destroy all future chances of a free-market, increase taxes and increase government spending? The article you link to is a lie, Stephen Moore is a lie.

``This massive tax increase will weaken investment in Alaska's oilfields at the very time that more investment is needed,'' Doug Suttles, president of BP Exploration Alaska Inc., said in a Dec. 27 e-mailed statement. ``We will now review all our planned activities.''

Again, I fully get your point. But again I come around to the point that right now, it is about looking at where the wealth is being distributed. We aren't talking about it being distributed to people who make $250,000 a year. We are talking about it being distributed to military contractors of different sorts, many of whom have no anchor in america. The Bush/Obama Keynesian policy is a bastardized version of both trickle down and true Keynesian theory. I believe Palin would follow the same path under a different name.
But there has been no evidence that Palin would follow through with the same Bush/Obama policy. There is mass speculation, fueled by the biased media in its portrayal of Palin.
Just no proof.
While I've provided at least evidence that she would follow a Reagan-isque approach that would have the government have a hands off policy towards commerce.

No, they can spend it any way they want to. The problem I have is when they're given tax cuts under the expectations that they're reinvesting it into the economy! If that was the case we wouldn't be losing manufacturing jobs in this country!
