Right now America has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, Means less profit for companies, more for taxes that the government collects.

Seems to me that if the government wants more taxes, it would want more companies to collect from, if that's the case, why is Obama rallying to raise the taxes on business? That's what stated the Revolutionary War!~

That just shows the comparison with the Pipeline, he's playing to his agenda, not what the people want.

More oil production getting refined means less dependency , what is wrong with that? That's why gas prices have dropped, We are producing more on PRIVATE lands and that has lowered prices, if not for that, because of Obama denying so many permits to drill on public and federal lands, the prices would be doomed to keep rising. Shipping cost wold rise even more raising the prices even more on everything...
