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

That can be said of any tax.

The point is that the subsidies to Big Oil can be viewed in the same way as the subsidies being offered to AMD by Albany, NY. It's all about bringing in the tax revenue.

Hence I don't get the whole argument over whether the global oil market is "free" or not.
