...those subsidies are not oil company subsidies. They are consumer subsidies. If they go away, the subsidy will show up at the pump. I don't care if they do away with them or not, I just don't want the politicians pretending they tried to help us peasants out and the big oil companies stuck it to us.

Big Oil keeps 5 tax breaks in vote 29 Mar 2012 The Senate on Thursday decided against advancing a measure to repeal five tax incentives for the nation's biggest oil and gas companies and use the money to extend alternative energy and energy-efficiency tax credits. The measure failed, as had been expected, just after President Barack Obama implored senators to slash incentives that he argued subsidize major companies that don't need them. The measure by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., would have barred BP, Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Shell Oil from claiming several incentives.
