Tax credits are the same thing.

Not at all. Not even close. Wynne giving Cisco $220,000,000 CASH to setup shop is a subsidy. To receive a tax credit you have to spend YOUR own money and hope you'll profit enough to get the credit which reduces the tax you pay.

No taxable income means no tax credit.

Yep, oil loses money all the time, what a risk that must be.


It was when oil was cheap, not any more.

And it's their money lost forever and nobody elses's. No a penny given from any Govt.



They don't lose, at all.


Why create a tax credit for an industry that doesn't need it?


I wouldn't give a credit to any of them, green or otherwise.


Same goes for farms btw.

I already went over this with captain in another thread and he accepted it.

It was a percentage of 2011 GDP which came out to around 20 billion for that year alone.
