End Big Oil Handouts


End Big Oil Handouts
The Issue
BP recently announced that its third-quarter profits more than doubled – earning nearly $5 billion during the last three months. Other big oil companies announced that they have also raked in obscene profits this year. Yet somehow, these oil giants continue to receive billions in taxpayer-funded giveaways each year.
And what has your congressman, Representative Dan Benishek, said about Big Oil’s special tax breaks? “I think oil companies pay their fair share.”
It’s past time that Rep. Benishek started standing up for the people of Michigan instead of the Big Oil companies.
Tell Representative Dan Benishek today that there should be no more handouts for Big Oil and to support any effort to cut Big Oil’s taxpayer-funded subsidies.
