Newt is such an idiot. The “Gas companies” are the most heavily taxed industry in America. How is slightly reducing their considerable tax burden a subsidy, unless you consider all money to belong to the government initially, and therefore letting the gas company keep a little bit more, is seen as a transfer from the Federal govt. to the company, instead of simply a reduction in the amount of tax the company must pay.
Not sure if you listened to the video.
Newt was not jumping on the “oil companies are evil” bandwagon at all. The title of the thread is some what misleading.
Greta sounded like she was questioning big oil profits.
The comment reflects a total incompehension of what Newt said, or more likely, total ignorance of what he said.
Suggestion to others, listen to the video.
