While reaping the
largest corporate profits in history, BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron and
other Big Oil companies have shaken more than $35 billion in special
subsidies and tax breaks out of the U.S. taxpayer. Then, when Big
Oil dumps millions of gallons of oil into our oceans and waterways,
they leave us with the cleanup bill. BP and other Big Oil companies
have been getting government hand-outs that fleece billions from
taxpayers every year. ExxonMobil, the most profitable corporation in
American history, avoided paying ANY income taxes to the Federal
Government last year and then pocketed an additional $46 million
from the IRS.
Surprised? We were. Enough is enough. It's time to end federal
subsidies and tax breaks to BP and other Big Oil companies. Instead
of subsidizing the most profitable dirty fuel companies on the
planet, we could be supporting new startups that specialize in clean
and green energy. We can break our addiction to oil, create green
jobs and make sure disasters like the one in the Gulf of Mexico
never happen again. But we need your support to make sure our
leaders follow through. Sign now to tell Congress and candidates for
office nationwide to stop the shakedown, and stop taxpayer giveaways
to Big Oil and all the other Dirty Fuels.
