OK, I wasn't trying to state that the semiconductor didn't get any tax breaks. It just doesn't seem to get the same benefits that oil does. I'd also say that computers are a huge part of national security. I understand the reaoning, but I just think the oil industry may get such benefits partly due to our president's family and their ties to oil.

The president doesn't set tax policy, congress does (as demonstrated by the raising of taxes on oil companies bya democratic government).

President Bush personally has closer ties to the Baseball industry then the oil industry.
