Sound Familiar? Joe Biden: I’d Destroy Blue Collar Energy Sector Jobs

During the PBS/Politico debate, Joe Biden answered “yes” when asked if he would be willing to sacrifice thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of blue-collar jobs.

Some of the great-paying jobs that Biden would be willing to sacrifice: 

Wall Street Journal: “Oil-and-gas drillers and refiners had some of the highest-paid median workers in the energy and utility sectors in 2018, according to The Wall Street Journal analysis of annual pay disclosures for hundreds of big U.S. companies as provided by MyLogIQ.”

“Houston-based Phillips 66 paid its median worker $196,407, the highest of any company in the sector.

“Phillips was followed by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. at $183,445.”

The Biden line sounds familiar, doesn’t it? 

Hillary Clinton: we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
