$20+Billion in OIL tax breaks to SHORTCHANGE AMERICA -THANKS CHENEY!
Deepwater Horizon set off the worst oil spill in History while flying the flag of the Marshall Islands so TRANSOCEAN could AVOID TAXES LIKE IT DID IN 1999 with CAYMAN and 2008 with SWITZERLAND! BP also reaps massive tax benefits (70% write-off) from leasing the rig of $225,000/day or $82 Million/year.
American OIL EXTRACTION IS THE MOST GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED IN THE WORLD! CORPORATE WELFARE LEECHES SUCKING ON THE TAXPAYER!
CBO says oil field leases/drilling pay 9% tax rate VS. 25% for other industries.
Many small/midsize OIL companies tax is so low it is … eliminated by various credits with returns often higher after taxes than before.
$4 Billion/ Year TAXPAYER BREAKS helping producers RIP-0FF CONTINUOUSLY HIGHER RECORD PROFITS!
MYTH: OIL CORPORATIONS PAY TOO MUCH TAX! MOST BIG ONES LIKE EXX0N PAY ZERO% TO THE IRS while Exxon had $373 billion dollars in profit in 2009.
Exxon Mobil net income jumps 53% in 2010 on TOP of PREVIOUS RECORD PROFITS as they SUCK the LIFE OUT OF THE WORLD!
