He isn ' t a billionairemuskSure seems like a billionaire . Federal subsidies amount to $ 17 . 2 billion annually , And yet they still paid over a hundred billion dollars in income tax to the federal government alone . In fact 4 of the top 10 income tax payers in the US are fossil fuel companies . megacorpspaymegataxes # 2069 c 1 b 57 a 7 eYou think they deserve 17 . 2 billion dollars worth of not having to pay taxes ? I think that they obey the law as it is currently written . Would you like to deprive every other business in America from taking the same capital expenditure and depreciation deductions ? I have to applaud your ability to combine ignorance with aggression and self righteousness . It is rare to find someone who is simultaneously so incorrect and yet so positive that they are right . Good for you .
