You're claiming that American Big Oil gets a lot of subsidies, a theme repeated throughout the Democratic campaign. Yet no mention of the taxes Big Oil shells out to federal, state, and local governments:

About $100 billion as of 2004.

The majority of those taxes are excise taxes, which can be argued are a tax on the consumer not the companies.

And I've stated before that I don't support a windfall profits tax.
