Nonsense. There are no "subsidies" to oil companies. In fact, oil companies pay a larger rate of taxes on their revenues than the majority of companies.

I get very upset with people who repeat talking points about taxation but have no clue how taxation law actually works.

In 2012, Exxon paid $31 $31.05 billion in taxes on Earnings before taxes of $78.73 billion from total revenue of $428.38 billion.
