Oh, Those Unfair Tax Cuts...

Speaking of gas prices, apparently Republicans in Congress now think it's "unfair" that wealthy oil companies are enjoying lavish tax breaks. The rich don't "need" extra tax cuts, we're told.

Focusing on excessive oil company profits, of all things, in a conversation about tax justice is myopic in the extreme.
