To: Laissez-faire capitalist
It (at least most of it) needs to stay in the US. If it doesn’t, then conservatives need to push to try and get their congress critters to do something.

Odd comment for someone who calls himself "Laissez-faire capitalist".

How about we let the owners of the oil sell it where they can make the best return on their best investment. It's not "our" oil.

Not our oil?

Tell that to millions of voters who still support drill, baby, drill and who wanted KXL built thinking that it would result in cheaper gasoline prices for them.

Sure, I believe in a return on investment, but that doesn’t mean that someone investing in this shouldn’t think about others beside themselves.

The founder of modern Laissez-faire Capitalism, Adam Smith, believed that making money was a good thing, but also believed that it shouldn’t be the sole or even primary purpose in one’s life.
