Thomas is my favorite representative! I'm so proud of the work we did in Kentucky to elect Rand Paul and Thomas Massie! We're not done yet. That's a challenge to the rest of y'all! Elect good and smart people like Thomas!
Massie is a Godsend. I live in Kentucky, where Libertarians and constitutional conservatives pretty much worship Rand Paul and Thomas Massie. Massie is a genius, if he's any indicator, we really do need more Engineers and less Lawyers in congress.
Way less lawyers. More engineers yes, but more of a lot of other backgrounds too, people with experience in different fields so that we can actually try to solve problems instead of just knowing how to phrase a bill in enough legalese that no one could hope to comprehend it.
"Well, there aren't many engineers in congress, I'll tell you that right off the bat. A lot of politicians get here by dint of intuition, and feelings, and ability to communicate, which is good, you need all those things, but engineers rely on facts." Thomas Massie 23:19
Has anyone "here" EVER heard a more open, intelligent and fair-minded Congressman than Thomas Massie? Not I. He is a true statesman, and, in contrast, my (present) Tennessee "Republican" Representative comes off as a stilted, ignorant and self-interested lemming. Ben Franklin and the gang would have loved working with Thomas Massie. I donated a wife-approved portion of our undeserved and unneeded "political trap cheese" from the calamitous "Care Act" (which Massie bravely opposed) TO HIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN - how's that for an "ironic donation" and best use of tax payer money! To me, Massie has the best attributes of Ben Franklin, Will Rodgers and Elon Musk all wrapped up into one, and all you have to do is listen to a few RUclips interviews to be bowled over by the depth and range of his knowledge, common sense and problem-solving. Hopefully down the road, when Elon Musk is the Chief Engineer/President of Mars, Massie will be our President. (Yea, I'm a fan of both of these rare leaders.)
You're right - there's already two pipelines across non-sandy areas of Nebraska. One's been there since 1952. The dangers still haven't been reported. "Doing a comprehensive review of safety incidents on the Platte Pipeline is difficult because of multiple changes in ownership over almost six decades, changes in the federal agencies with oversight responsibility and changes in the way federal records have been kept." -from "State's crude oil pipeline legacy dates to 1950s", (Journal Star)
You are absolutely right.And they also overlook that north America could be energy self-sufficient in ten years & be able to extricate itself from most of these dangerous middle east intrigues.
Thank you for being polite, and you are right that bad grammar will sabotage a good position, it's something i have had to deal with since i was a kid because i am dyslexic, not trying to make excuses just letting know that i appreciate you not jumping down my throat like most people do.
The Ogalala aquifer covers the entire state of Nebraska - almost bizarrely following the borders of the state. Some of it also runs down to the states to the south. It's an unusually deep and wide-ranging lake. Even if Ogalala was not peculiarly vulnerable, leaks can always happen. Even the modern Pegasus pipeline was able to spill into the Yellowstone river. And why not? The fines never amount to the cost of inspection.
There's an existing pipeline that runs from the oil sands to Superior, WI... There's no way that it's cheaper to build a pipeline all the way to Texas than it would be to relocate refineries or build new ones in Wisconsin and expand the existing pipeline. The reason the XL pipeline is so long is so it will go to as many congressional districts as possible and will "create" more jobs than building a shorter pipeline would. The least efficient option is the most attractive to government officials.
The Supreme Court has held that the federal government and each state has the power of eminent domain-the power to take private property for "public use". The Takings Clause, the last clause of the Fifth Amendment, limits the power of eminent domain by requiring that "just compensation" be paid if private property is taken for public use.
13:15 how our country should approach every issue and there would be little to no problems as we attempt to have a "one size fits all" solution for every state
This guy is such an awesome rep. He is the reason why I am against term limits i would be heartbroken if we lost him for no reason other than his 12 years (or whatever limit we came up with) were up
I don't agree with Mr. Massie on everything, neither does Nick. But think about it this way, if guys like this could be the new Right and Libertarian leaning Democrats could become the new Left, things wouldn't be perfect but would they not gradually get better? I don't see sweeping changes as very realistic, "Get rid of both parties!", yeah that's not gonna happen. Educate more people to a Libertarian viewpoint and see government organically move in that direction, that's a real possibility.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd be just fine with getting back the full amount which I (and my employers through matching funds which they gave to Uncle Sam instead of to me) paid into Social Security, in one lump sum. Then I would never darken their doors again, ever. This could be made optional, and a bunch of us old timers would be able to invest our own money for our own retirement, rather than try and subsist on a government "allowance," in hopes of getting our money back and then living long enough to leech off young people who've recently entered the work force. President Johnson turned SS into a Ponzi scheme in order to finance an illegal, undeclared, and pointless war. The government should do everything possible to turn that "slush fund for the MIC" (which is what SS became) mentality 180 degrees.
Incrementalism, my friend. Our liberty brothers in the south have to tread lightly in that area and I'm okay with that. They aren't our enemies here. We have to be smart and strategic about this, otherwise we'll get smeared us out of existence and soccer moms spook easily. We should have liberty Republicans on the west coast and north east pick up the mantle of curtailing drug prohibition and make that a focal point in states where it plays favorably. Time to step up and get involved!
IT's so hard to deal with folks who have been hypnotised by the propaganda against pipelines. It took me over an hour, with maps, statistics, and other data to turn my cousin's fiance away from the false story of "pipeline dangers". I am happy to see you defending reality, but it is hard, and most don't want to change (unless their herd does, then they go along) anyway. Best of luck. :)
He called Social Security a progressive tax, but it's the opposite. It's a regressive tax, i.e. people at lower incomes are taxed higher. The tax is only charged on the first $100kish of income per year (changes annually, google it for up-to-date date :P ). Just felt obligated to make that important correction, especially since removing the cap (and increasing the retirement/permanent vacation age) would help make the program solvent.
+Kristy Wells Actually, removing the cap would not make Social Security solvent. It would make it less insolvent, but not remotely solvent. It would also destroy the nature of SS as a retirement plan, and make it a pure welfare program.
Democracy isn't people's right to do as other people think that they should. It is doing as they feel within the guarantee of the Bill of Rights. When a child, I was upset over the persecution of people over sexual preference. This was decades before Gay Rights became an issue.
Basically, if this guy votes the way he talks he's a big step in the right direction, and when his reelection comes up he may force his Democratic opponent in a more Libertarian direction. Not perfect but if I was his constituent I'd consider voting for him. Yes, both parties suck but sometimes one of the dudes is a lighter shade of grey.
There is a Russian joke and it goes like this. A professor in the class is talking about a particular law that came out. One student raises his hand, and asks -"Professor, can you tell me who came up with this law, politicians or a scientist?" Professor replies -"It was a politicians" Student say -"Well, no wonder, if it was a scientist, he would have first tried it on the dogs"
The best tax option would be a Land Value Tax, levied only on the market value of the unimproved land and not on the fruits of anyone's labor. It is the least distortion to the free market and very progressive while also very simple to collect. Most counties already post all of their land values online. You'd just have to multiply one publicly available number by some percentage.
If I were the king of income taxation, I would enact something I call the quotient tax, which would take less than a page to explain, and have a return that would fit on a postcard. Take ones cash income (exempting non-cash winnings of whatever) and divide it by the respective federal poverty level of the taxpayer and convert that quotient into a percentage that the taxpayer pays of their income. Because many CEOs make more than 100 times what their employees do, the maximum tax rate could be set to retire the national debt every year and give the rich a disincentive to add to government expenditure.
Well no need to worry about approval, they are already building it anyway so it will probably get approved whether we want it or not, Aint corruption wonderful?
To give a VERY oversimplified explanation, I would argue that human migration to better conditions is a "natural right", so long as it does not violate private property boundaries. Surely migration to better social, economic, or climate conditions constitutes a perfect example of the "pursuit of happiness". To put this in context, how is it that the state can throw humans in cages for interfering with the migration of fish or birds, then turn and interfere with the migration of humans?
One big earthquake could fracture those oil rock formations. The pipeline will be a godsend & prevent the spills which would likely happen if it were shipped to China by sea.Which is what will happen if Keystone falls through.
Once we abolish any and all sort of government welfare (aka other peoples money taken under the threat of force to give to others) We can return to your ideas of laws of migration. Besides what I just mentioned, do you think in your free migration policy, it would also be good to allow all sorts of criminals to migrate as well? I mean after all, murderers rapists would only migrate, which means braking no law on your view, until they start raping and murdering here.
And how do you propose to stop government spending when they bring in hundreds of new voters every day that will always vote for a handout, your priority's are backwards to stop the illegal immigrants from destroying a system that is based on voter numbers, you have to stop the supply of new voters that will vote for there country over yours, trying to get people to give up handouts is hard enough when you speak the same language and impossible when you don't.
The Keystone pipeline would be comprised of about 1,800 miles of trunk line size pipe. The US presently has about 55,000 miles of trunk line oil pipe. With you "logic" the US would have no irrigated water that was not contaminated with oil. With your logic 6,000 miles would contaminate 100%. Yet we already have 55,000 miles with no significant contamination.
He just said his constituents in KY don't favor legalization of marijuana. Bullshit! I live in KY and a huge population of people favor it. This guy just lost my vote next go around.

*Sigh* I guess you haven't been keeping up,but the pipeline was re- routed away from there months ago.& any oil spill would never have reached the water table anyway. I suggest you Google a pipeline map of north America.The country is criss-crossed with them.It is the safest & most economical way to transport petroleum products.
And it has never caused a problem, dispite the quantity being billions of times greater in volume than any conceivable spill.You might do well to remember that oil originally comes from the ground.If you are worried about water contamination,maybe we better get as much out of the ground as possible.
How did you come to that conclusion, seems to me you are assuming. He said the States shouldn't have to recognize what the others do.. he didn't specify gay/straight anything. When he used that example of Massachusetts and Kentucky Nick said "AND VICE VERSA which is consistent with your decentralize view." which he agreed with.
This is great stuff with only 5K views....too light for the drudgereport haters and too heavy for the rest....need to throw in some redbull stunts maybe....anyway...I love it...
You didnt answer my question. Or are you trying to tell me, that in your view its ok for murderers and rapists to migrate to USA? Im asking you that in particular, dont fan out the answer please, I gave you a specific scenario
Why the XL pipeline then Massie ?You are terrific except on this issue. What about Bio-gas ? Talk about Crony BS smothering a viable (50% less carbon emmisioins, waste a wonderful compost etc.) competitor to Corn, Coal and Fossil fuel.
I've noticed this a lot lately because, lately, I come across it every single day...THERE'S NOT A SPACE THEN A QUESTION MARK. THERE'S A WORD...THEN...A...QUESTION...MARK. Modern retardation through busted school systems. 😆😆😆😆
Rape and murder are crimes; movement is not. To outlaw natural activities for fear of crimes is insane, but has been the father of some of the most destructive policies in history. The drug war, for example, is rationalized by saying that smoking weed might make someone commit other crimes. Beyond that, my personal belief is that a majority of the violent criminals in our society (and Mexico) are manufactured by state meddling. The state creates most of our social problems.
No.YOU are pathetically wrong.The pipeline will run alongside numerous other pipelines which have been in place for decades.And no oil would be able to sink to the water table before it was cleaned up.A pipeline is the safest way to transport oil. You don't see Alaska's pipeline contaminating the water table do you? Or how about the billions of tons of oil-based asphalt roads that sit right on the dirt? And the pipeline was re-routed away from any vulnerable aquifers.
Not all pipelines go across the same type of land. Prior to the Keystone original plan nobody had planned to put a pipeline across a lake covered with sand. There are definitely more and less safe places to pipe.

You don't see Alaska's pipeline contaminating the water table do you? Or how about the billions of tons of oil-based asphalt roads that sit right on the dirt? And the pipeline was re-routed away from any vulnerable aquifers.
Not all pipelines go across the same type of land. Prior to the Keystone original plan nobody had planned to put a pipeline across a lake covered with sand. There are definitely more and less safe places to pipe.
