My tax professor walked into class the first day and said he was going to explain what taxes are due the government in 5 minutes. He then said, “what did you make? Send it in.” He then said we would spend the rest of the semester learning what the government would let us keep. That’s O’s mindset. All money is his and he will let you, or the companies know what they can have. If you get to keep some of your earnings, you have received a subsidy.
Yes, that’s what I figured.
In this case Zero is playing word games to demonize the oil industry. Alinsky tactics to divide the nation.
