There was no Tea Party in Atlas Shrugged.
But there was Galt’s Gulch...
“subsidies”....is the wrong word. The oil companies can “depreciate” the wells against their tax liability. Every company in the USA can “depreciate” Something.
Our “political hack” president is using the term to make the uninformed think the Feds send the oil companies a check, like Brazil, or any foreign aid, which is not the case.
“There was no Tea Party in Atlas Shrugged.”
The Tea Party is a total joke. It accomplished its goal, which was to transfer voter anger to one of the big government parties. What program have Republicans cut? Government will continue to grow under even the most “radical” Republican plans.
