Are you aware that a great deal of oil company profits are paid out in dividends to stockholders, much of it in middle-class Americans' 401(k)'s and other retirement plans, including unions?

Al Gore must be aware, he sold out to an oil company....thereby throwing his former fellow huggers under the bus

This is one of the big lies. You--and the rest of the ignorant masses--seem to believe that the government is sending checks from the government to oil companies when, in fact, these so-called subsidies are monies the government never had. IT'S A BIG LIE; it isn't any more welfare than your home mortgage interest deduction, which is money the government never had, either.

And the home mortgage welfare deduction needs to go away as well.

They are getting out of paying taxes they would normally have to pay without those special deductions.

Guess who has to make up for that? The rest of us.

Yes, I get dividends every month from one of my oil or gas stocks.

That's just more proof they are so profitable they don't need any taxpayer welfare.

Fine with me. Stop all welfare while we are at it. Course then the real battle for the blights begans. Without slums, Jarrett would go broke.

Why didn't Obama spend time on the tax code instead of a year of coersion for ObamaScare.

When will hypocrit teabaggers offer a bill pledging that their red states won't accept $1. more than the amount in tax they sent to DC? Okiehomo grabs $1.64 for every $1. they send. So, while guys like coburn prance around outraged at spending, he continues to get his palms greased at taxpayers expense.

Because the healthcare reform was more important at the time.

Well, ask your boy Obama or Geitner. They are the ones controlling the tax revenues.

Who cares? They still make hundreds of billions in profit every year. There is no reason for the taxpayer further subsidizing them. They already screw us over at the pump every day.

If you don't like companies that make a profit and create jobs, I suggest you move to North Korea or Cuba. They welcome american traitors they can use for propaganda.

Why do Republicans give away our tax dollars to the most profitable companies on Earth, then whine that we'll "hurt" them if we take away some of their tax breaks?
You love corporate welfare, don't you bitches?:)

Why does Obama give our tax dollars to the least likely (green_?_energy) companies to succeed,then deny any political donation ties to his campaign? You love crony capitalism,don't you sh1theel?

Heh...good move by Dems. These filthy rich scum should NEVER get any kind of tax break.

Wonder how Obama is gonna spin his justification for giving even MORE tax dollars to his green energy political cronies to set up front companies and rob the funds to line their collective pockets? The House must insure that Obama corruption is halted by denying ANY funding he directs to ANY "green" energy company he denotes.

An attack on BigOil is an attack on our economy...America cannot survive without BigOil and the contributions it makes which is why Obama hates them.

I have no problem with them making a profit and creating jobs; in fact I've make thousands in profits off their stock.

That said, they shouldn't be getting taxpayer welfare.

The Dems ARE trying to get rid of the big welfare entitlement payments to Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Coal, but the GOPasaurs keep fighting them.

Wow, you're quite the drama queen for someone who's so anti-gay.

Who ever said they wanted to bankrupt the oil & gas companies?

We just expect them to pay their fair share of taxes instead of taking more taxpayer financed welfare.
