4. There is a slight problem with that tax hike
It is a republican law that was passed. The republicans are responsible for any tax increase, that is the way they wanted it.

6. Oil companies just made extreme record profits! They shouldn't pay taxes?
Why the hell not Why are they so special?

We give them huge tax subsidies.
We let them collect record profits.
And we don't want to tax them?

Why? in God's name, Why?
