BIG GOVERNMENT makes more off of BIG OIL than big oil makes off itself? That's why they get it.
Our government is out to make money anyway it can, to support it's big spending. Remember when government was fine with BIG Tobacco, until emphysema started costing them more in healthcare than they could collected in cigarette taxes. All of a sudden big brother started carrying about your health, but only after THEY stared losing money on it?

Nope. I dont believe jack from either party. What I do know is that you are inconsistent. Some bails outs for corporate welfare are OK but assistence for individuals is not. OH I forgot Corporations are people too.usa1 said:Nope ..... bailout was a good thing. See, that's the difference in you and I. You buy into anything you favorite party says. Think for yourself.

Obama just sent Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, billions to finance exploration in Brazil's Tupi oil field. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970203863204574346610120524166
In 2011 the three US oil giants paid more income tax than any other American corporation. ExxonMobil paid $27.3 billion in income tax, Chevron paid $17 billion, and ConocoPhillips paid $10.6 billion.
These huge sums gave the companies equally huge effective tax rates. ExxonMobil’s tax rate was 42.9%, Chevron’s was 48.3%, and ConocoPhillips’ was 41.5%. These figures are higher than the US federal statutory rate of 35%, which is the highest tax rate in the developed world.

Its simply amazing how you and others dont know how the government works.
Do you realize Congress authorizes and spends the money, not the President?

just like the other thread you don't have to say it, but your actions speafor themselves.700UW said:
Democrat= everything wonderful and great
Republican= everything evil and bad with the world.
You won't say anything about him and the Dems lying and bribing there way to getting Obamacare passed.
So your saying the Supreme Court's head Justice Roberts is an idiot for ruling the way he did?
Gee who appointed him.
And glad you keep deflecting and change the subject at hand.
The Congress passed it, the Supreme Court upheld it and yet the right controlled house has spent over $30 million of our tax money to keep trying to defund it, now who are the idiots?
