Aw hell no. I thought we blew past "funny" back during the first 50 posts. We're way over in "poop-in-the-pants-hysterical" now, which IMHO is just fine as we live in an era where sometimes our very survival can hinge on our keeping a good sense of humor.
But seriously folks (rim shot) conservatives want lower taxes that bring us smaller government, more freedom, and less government control. Liberals want more government control and less freedom, but they can't sell it by that name. So the wording they use is 'tax-credits' aimed at subsidizing investing in my brother-in-law's strategic industries (base drum/cowbell).
No, conservatives want smaller government, more freedom, BUT also a secure nation. You are an economic libertarian.
We cannot be a secure nation, particularly in light of the M.E. conflict, without a safe and stable energy supply. Oh, and as IF oil companies haven't had the benefit of "oil-exploration" tax credits for decades...give me a break. They just got another 1.1 Bn last year...while recording record profits.
