What do you think about the big tax breaks for big oil companies? Should they still be getting those tax breaks in light of the huge profits they're making now? That was the subject of debate on Capitol Hill Thursday. Frustrated with the high prices at the pump, congressional democrats put the heat on top oil executives, proposing a bill that would eliminate tax breaks for the companies. The Democrats claim such a move would raise billions of dollars and help reduce the deficit. But the oil companies fought back, saying it's unfair to single them out... and that doing away with their tax breaks could make things worse for consumers. While Democrats are calling for an end to tax breaks for the oil giants, Republicans want more areas in the country to be opened for drilling. But neither proposal is likely to help drive down prices at the pump? Are you for or against eliminating the big tax breaks for oil companies?
