When he says tax breaks, he doesn't mean the oil industry is getting any real breaks. They actually pay more tax than other industries, as this article discusses. All industries need to be treated equally, not special favors or penalties depending on which government official got a campaign donation. Taxes for business are on profits. If they spend dollars to hire a rig or a trucking companies, those companies pays tax on their profits. Otherwise we get double, triple, etc taxation.
I’m not trying to be difficult. The soldiers are making it possible for the oil companies to have the free market to make their profits.
Soldier promises come first.
Now, I’d far rather they cancel child tax credits for illegals or other items more egregious than tax breaks for businesses.
My point is that they put soldiers first in line to get assaulted by Congress rather than last in line. These other items should get hit before the military does, to include business tax breaks.
