How about subsidies? Taking them away will produce the same outcome. It will decrease the amount going to the bottom line and discourage domestic oil exploration. Or are you in favor of welfare?

Not at all. I dont think the oil companies, or any business should have ever gotten subsidies. Im simply pointing out that increasing the cost for oil companies to do business will only hurt the consumer, not the business. A more fair approach would be to eliminate subsidies and at the same time, regulations which cost the oil companies. This makes it a win win for all. The dems however, are simply using political manuevering to take advantage of consumer ignorance. They want us to beleieve that they are sticking it to big oil, when in fact, theyre sticking it to the little guy.
