In reply to the discussion: Exxon threatens legal action if stations air this ad [View all]namaste2
(74 posts)21. I agree with you 100%. No talk about cutting anything for regular people while
the tax loopholes and oil co. subsidies still exist. But what I can't understand is the acceptance of the discussion's starting point which is the so-called "entitlement programs" have to change without bringing it back around to unless and until the some fairness to the wealthiest people and corporations are put into place, don't even to talk to me about my social security or medicare benefits should be cut after I have paid into it all my life. That is why it is called an entitlement! I am entitled to it because I paid in to it. It is not a subsidized taxpayer program like subsidizing the oil companies so they will explore for more toxic oil and gas to hasten our planet's demise.
