Why Would Joe Barton Defend BP?

By CHARLES JOHNSON
Why Would Joe Barton Defend BP?

Barton is one of Big Oil’s biggest boosters. Before his election to Congress, Barton was an executive with ARCO, which was later acquired by BP.
He has taken $1.4 million in campaign contributions from the industry since 1989, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Barton’s backers have been political action committees and employees of Anadarko Petroleum, Exxon Mobil and Valero Energy, the watchdog group reported.

Oh.

 

[SPECTRE1]

As soon as the media turns away, BP will start messing with the claimants. Pushing lowball settlements when the person has no money,just like exxon. Good idea to get the money to the federal government via commitment, let them decide than push the bill onto bp.

Don't want unemployment or any safety net because you can push for higher pay, or unionize.
