Okay, just when you thought things couldn't be more screwed up... BP is getting a $10 billion tax credit as a result of the spill. Full details at the link, but... do we even have to explain how insane this is?$10 billion is the equivalent of the entire budget of the EPA. The idea that BP is enjoying a windfall as a result of this catastrophe is completely, 100% insane.


Click, learn more, take action, and tell BP to pay. Destroying the Gulf shouldn't lead to a tax windfall.

UPDATE: Wednesday afternoon, we learned that BP's tax break will be even bigger than was first reported - an outrageous $13 billion!1 A BP spokesman wouldn't say if the company is paying any U.S. taxes at all this year. It could even be getting a refund. Please take action to hold BP accountable
