No. I am correctly stating that the items you call subsidies are what every other business in the world calls cost of business deductions. The fact that a bill called the "End Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act of 2011" which is based on a very poor understanding of oil and gas accounting was filed does not indicate that congress calls these deductions subsidies. The rub, of course, is hey aren't subsidized. They are deducting costs of business.
Cute euphemism. You act like these oil company special interest tax loopholes-- which are real US laws, dozens of them--are routine business expenses. It's absurd. Taxes that they avoid paying are carried by the rest of us.
Cute and accurate. What is absurd is you call them subsidies. A deduction for the amount a tax you pay to get a lease is cost of business deduction.
To an accountant maybe. Everybody knows what a subsidy is, especially the people who create them. You are trying to say that a subsidy is no longer a subsidy if a company actually uses it as a tax deduction. Get real.
No red, what you think and what everybody knows are often times very far apart. No. For the third time... I am saying the things you keep referring to as subsidies are just normal business deductions. Subsidies and actual and intangible costs of doing business are not the same thing. You should learn the difference.
