What does the class card have to do with anything in this thread? This is about oil companies and taxes. No class involved there.

Instead of giving the oil companies 7,600,000,000 dollars in tax breaks how about they give US citizens the ability to write off part of their energy expenses? I don't think the oil companies are interested in passing the savings on to consumers.

How is the democratic motto of: "Tax the rich" not class warfare, and how does a tax increase directed at oil companies not fall into that category?

The primary motivation behind tax breaks to oil companies would appear to be to help them maintain their competative advantage in a global market.
