The thing we really want to start talking about today is the fact that this year, as most years, Congress will vote to give subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. Billions and billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Not because they need a subsidy. We’ve known how to burn coal and gas and oil for 250 years. There’s no secret to it that we need to subsidize for them to figure out. And it’s not because they need the money. They’re the most profitable industry on earth. Exxon made more money last year than any company in the history of money. What’s going on instead is that they are giving small presents to our legislators, and in return our legislators are giving them big presents with our money.

"So if you wonder why we are having a serious discussion about whether or not we should give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while the middle class is collapsing and tens of millions of people have no health insurance and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty and we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any country. If you’re wondering how we would consider for one minute talking about more tax breaks for the rich then you don’t know much about what goes on here in Washington and you don’t know about campaign contributions and the degree to which big money buys and sells politicians."
