What the hell are you talking about? Obviously you havent been in a high position in the oil industry otherwise you'd know the government subsidizies oil! rofl
Subsidizing Big Oil (1995) | Union of Concerned Scientists
Please stop embarrassing yourself and get the facts, I was in upper management in the oil business and I guarantee you that you don't know what you are talking about. That article relates to just about any industry but does it really matter to people like you? What is a subsidy, it is allowing companies to keep more of their own money or are you like most anti business people who believe it is the government's money first? Where it is income taxes, tax credits or anything else, the money comes from the consumer first. I further suggest you find out the royalties oil companies pay to the govt in this country, both state and Federal. You shouldn't be talking about things you do not understand.
Check out the Federal, State, and local taxes that are on gasoline in this country vs. Europe and you will find out why the price there is more than double here.
