This was my favorite quote. Effing parasites. Sorry, but any industry that can pay their top executives hundreds of millions of dollars, do not deserve or MERIT tax breaks. Period. Also we need to end the billion dollar give-away to Monsanto and Cargill.
"Questioned about whether the tax breaks are essential to promote exploration, each executive admitted they are not but said the subsidies are similar to those enjoyed by other industries."

"Recipients of Total USDA Subsidies from farms in United States totaled $246,718,000,000 in from 1995-2009."

Don't you find it interesting that most of the subsidies given go to only 10% of the recipients. Sounds familiar, doesn't it.
