Some common ground?
I was curious what the wrong-wingers are making of the calls to end subsidies to Big Oil, and was pleasantly surprised to see Peter Suderman over at Hit & Run agree not only with ending Big Oil’s subsidies, but also taking a whack at corporate favoritism in the tax code across the board. Bravo! Curious though that he doesn’t mention the role the Repugs played in Big Oil pork. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that were he blogging back in ’03, he would have been decrying the squandering of our tax dollars on Big Oil!
Let’s go for Big Ag next!

OH! Heaven forfend the Republicans take the blame for these tax give aways. “BOTH SIDES DO IT” don’t you know. Then they will point to some corporate freebees some blew dogs sponsored to prove their point. Or they will claim that family education credits or the EIC are the exact same thing.

Bravo! There is no reason in the world to be giving big oil companies the big subsidies. I think we should pursue biofuel and alternate sources of energy and just give the foreign big oil companies the heave-ho!
