He takes matches away from the poor while giving tax breaks to millionaires. Don't think even Raygun took matches away. Maybe the rich guy will let a few homeless sleep on the grates around The People's House. Used to belong to them, too. How much did he save himself? 4% of 5.5M? That'll heat a few homes.

Fighting over Big Oil's $4 billion a year windfall

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The top five oil companies in the United States made nearly $1 trillion in profit since 2000.
The Obama administration is eying that huge pile of cash as it looks for ways to pay for its renewable energy and energy efficiency programs.

But the oil industry wants the government to keep its hands off its cash, saying it already shoulders a massive tax burden. The industry says it has a tax rate of 48% -- one of the highest for any sector -- and pays nearly $100 million a day in state, local and federal taxes. That adds up to more than $36 billion a year.
