Bob: put an end to these unfair subsidies
Robert,
This makes my blood boil: Each year, taxpayers spend BILLIONS of dollars subsidizing big oil and gas companies!
These companies don’t need taxpayer dollars, period. In 2013 alone, the Big Five oil companies posted profits of $93 BILLION. But that didn’t stop the industry from lining its pockets with BILLIONS of your tax dollars that same year. No wonder the Big Five oil companies were able to pay their CEOs $125 million last year alone.
What’s more, even as these often-negligent companies walk away with your hard-earned money, they pollute our air and water, hurting our families and damaging our environment! Remember the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
We need to put an end to these unfair subsidies. Add your name: Tell Congress to stop unfair tax giveaways for Big Oil!
The other sad thing is that these loopholes aren’t new. Some of them have been on the books for 100 years! Big Oil companies have had a century of taxpayer money unnecessarily lining their pockets, and it’s time for them to pay their fair share.
Let’s send a strong message to Congress: We won’t stand for these unfair loopholes and waste of tax dollars.
Thank you,
Bob
P.S. In the time you’ve spent reading this email, thousands of your tax dollars have gone to Big Oil! Add your name now to the petition, and let’s stop this madness.
