Big Oil

These companies rake in billions in profits AND they get huge tax breaks and incentives that amount to billions of dollars.  Recently as anger over Paul Ryan's budget has forced Republishills to back away from Medicare cutting even they have talked about cutting subsidies to oil giants (when standing in the same room with angry constituents).  As soon as they got back to DC and took a vote all of the Tea Party, and "free market" types all voted in lock step to keep the subsidies.  Hey "free market" guys!  What the hell is wrong with you?  Some of us are not so brain dead that we see that you are corporate shills and SAY one thing to our face and stab us in the back when we turn away.  It's comical.  Now there is a great sadness here too and that is that there actually are real honest to goodness people that believe that "free market" bullshit.  They believe it so much they can't be made to see what is blatantly before their eyes.  Sad
