>> President Obama will call this week for allowing businesses to deduct from their taxes through 2011 the full value of new equipment purchase, from computers to utility generators, to increase demand for goods and create jobs.

PRECISELY the same things you're calling "subsidies" for the oil companies.

You realize, of course, this is a benefit for LARGE corporations ONLY (small corporations can already do this under IRC 179).

So, you're okay with MORE SUBSIDIES to the oil companies and all others?

So long as a liberal president calls it an "incentive"? Never mind that all (EVERY LAST ONE) of these so-called "subsidies" were "incentives" when they began.
