Dont you love how democrats define a subsidy as letting the oil companies keep their own money they earned?

Taxes are a necessity.

Please list the "subsidies" big oil gets; last I checked they don't get any. Things like wind power and solar get huge subsidies that should and could be cut to zero.

And, wtf about ethanol that gets a HUGE friggin' subsidy and takes about the same amount of energy to produce as it contains.

Those are tax breaks available to all businesses unlike when the gummint cuts a check to pay for some guys solar panels or to some corn farmer.

Show me the subsidies!
