Senate Attempt To Eliminate Big Oil Subsidies Defeated

What double taxation. Subsidies in this economy should go as should funding for NPR,PBS and PP.

The tax give away must stop.

so Exxon should pay double taxation?
 
a loyal con-I guess all those years I worked for PP sort of crushes that bit of nonsense.

WE can start with the fact that I am a partner in an investment holding company that has a rather fair amount invested in energy. On top of degrees in Law and Industrial Labor relations.

your turn
so you claim, so you claim.
 
Don't you get it? Not seizing their property is a subsidy.

Does anyone think that increasing taxes on any company is going to bring down the price of anything?

And providing welfare for Big Oil is just a super idea because.................? Clue us up.
 
so you claim, so you claim.

How can you possibly make such a stupid comment? you don't know who I am and thus you cannot possibly have any honest belief.

if you want proof though the going rate applies

just notice how you constantly trot that out, much like your buddy conservative and his '35 years' of business experience(glorified hr person), as if it somehow gives you instant credibility.

you were a called a loyal conservative...indeed, that fits, why hide from it?
 
do you want a cookie? are you special?

so you make a speculative bit of nonsense and that is the best you can do

how about sticking to the thread rather than peeing on my boot. some other lib called me some sort of mindless con and I posted evidence proving him wrong

and you call yourself a centrist when you are a far left union hack. and you are far more a union hack than I am conservative on every issue

no, i don't believe you proved that person wrong, the majority of what i have read of your posts would lead most to believe that you are hardcore rightwing, 'conservative'.

you must be using the Haymarket definition. ie if you aren't a union hack you are a "rightwing extremist"

but tell me, do you have a relevant comment about this subject?

just making a valid observation...so tell me, why to you hide in invisible mode now?
 
envy is not a sound basis for tax policy

And it most certainly is not an all purpose answer to every post which disagrees with your extremism.
 
What double tax?

if you are taxed in Britain on money you made there and then the USA taxes you on that same money that would be double taxation
 
How is opposing double taxation extremism?

some people think that all wealth is rightfully the property of the state and any thing that keeps the government from getting all wealth is a right wing plot
 
if you are taxed in Britain on money you made there and then the USA taxes you on that same money that would be double taxation

So are they taxed in every country for all money made or just that that was made in that country. Does the US tax exxon for money made in UK?

it will if those so called subsidies are eliminated

Thats crap. Show proof. I think the little they get in subsidies compared to their profit is laughable to fight about. It shows the greed of big business and gives oil companies a bad name. Shows me they are over charging some where. The problem is much of their money comes from other areas besides oil and gas so the subsidies are nothing more than walking around money for them
