A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't. So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know!

Corporate subsidies are second only to an unjust tax structure as an instrument of wealth transfer into the hands of a tiny few. Big Oil got $26B in subsidies in one year alone.

Some people can multi-task; you can usually spot them by their thought processes and conversation style. Others are strictly linear thinkers. Porter appears to be neither. She seems to have a combination of spontaneous mental eruptions buffeted by uncontrolled emotions. Strange

Subsidies mean "we pay their taxes", correct? It seems like such a soft word, but it takes a lot of money to make up for all that missed revenue.

There are no special subsidies for oil and gas industry. Feel free to cite the IRC or other section of the USC where you believe this exists.
