Kerry Introduces Bill to Repeal Wasteful Tax Giveaways for Oil Companies at Time of Record, Windfall Profits
April 25th, 2006 @ 12:20 pm

In response to Bush’s speech today on rising gas prices and his plan which analysts are already saying will not help, John Kerry will introduce a bill to repeal wasteful tax giveaways for oil companies at time of record, as oil companies see windfall profits.

Below is a statement from Senator John Kerry:

“For a moment, President Bush finally stopped talking like an oil company executive. Farmers, commuters and American families struggling with record gas prices need help more than oil interests which are giving their CEOs $400 million golden parachutes. I will introduce legislation today to repeal the president’s earlier tax giveaways for oil companies. The top oil executives told Congress they don’t need these tax breaks, and I hope the president was sincere today and will work aggressively to get this passed.

BTW - Kerry's not around - he has a serious illness in the family, but no one knows any details at this point.
