Welfare for oil companies. Do we need to keep this going?

[Shockwave]

I don't think it would matter, if we ended the subsidies they would find a way to pass the cost on to the consumer as business' usually do. Their profit margins won't take a hit.

I could be wrong, and if I am, I'd appreciate someone to explain it to me.

right?  only give money to corporations who don't turn profits???!!!!  these are the uneducated liberal fucks who tune into the liberal tv and radio stations who tell them that "corporate profits" is a swear word.  it's really unbelievable.  i mean really unbelieveable, well that's what rush told me

[bears]

which subsidies are YOU against exactly?  should i keep asking this or just assume that when some liberal hack writes an article with the words "oil" and "corporate profits" in it you believe it no matter what the content?  yeah thats what i thought.

Shockwave-  the oil companies would probably pass the cost onto the consumer but due to higher priced gasoline people will drive less and because of that the oil companies will make less money.
