What if there was a vote to decide if $13.5 billion in tax breaks for oil companies should go into oil alternatives, like solar and wind? What would you want your Senator to do?

Well, as you probably guessed, there was such a vote. We needed 60 votes to prevail, and 59 of them were in. But John McCain ducked the vote.
As a result, instead of powering millions of homes with clean energy and building next-generation solar technology, we’re giving ExxonMobil and other companies billions in tax breaks at a time when they’re already making record profits.What say you?

American Peoples. If I want to pay more taxes, then I’d vote for your communist roll model.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone. McCain gets too much money from the oil lobbyists to expect him to stand up and put his true feelings on the record.

McCain has been bought and paid for by the oil companies. How will he prevent a terrorist attack on an off-shore derek is a mystery to me. But notice the Republicans will not say terrorist attack and off-shore drilling in the same sentence.

If McCain’s campaign is managed by former oil executives, that should give you an answer. Take care.

If you take away those tax breaks then it is a tax hike for the company and the cost is passed on to us the consumer. It looks to me like McCain was the only one looking out for the middle class and poor. We should cut back on another program to fund it if we have to. Besides the oil cos already fund alternative fuel exploration and who said they had to anyway, fund their competition? Hmmmm

The Federal Government already takes about 35 percent in royalties from the wells. That is before it is refined, delivered to the market and taxed again. Corporations do not pay taxes. It is passed on to the consumer. Obama complained that the oil companies make about $4000 a minute in profit. He neglected to mention that they pay about $14,000 a minute in taxes.
