You have to listen carefully.
Libs define any tax cut as the government giving money away.
That is what they mean when they claim that oil companies get billions of dollars in subsidies from the Fed gov, while the oil companies are paying many fortunes in taxes to that same Fed gov(IRS).
The money only goes one direction to them, to the gov, but libs call it a gift to the oil company.
It's a very telling philosophy. It tells who they believe money belongs to. We think it belongs to the earner, they think money belongs to the gummint, except what they think we should be allowed to keep. Whenever you hear *any* politician, of *any* party use the phrase "Tax Expenditure," they are giving their game away. They're calling a tax cut an expenditure.
