Okay. Found the amendment on "big oil subsidies"


Posted: Apr 9, 2011

and this bill DID NOT ELIMINATE BIG OIL SUBSIDIES.  I am reading through it and comparing it with the IRS Code that it applies to, so I won't be able to make any large explanations/comparisons today but noticed that even if the amendment would have passed, it would NOT have gone into affect until after December 31, 2011

Also, the little bit I did get through so far would not have eliminated oil subsidies from what I see with a quick glance, it would have changed the "gross receipts in excess of  $1,000,000,000 for its last taxable year ending during calendar year 2005", to "has gross receipts in excess of $50,000,000 for the taxable year."

I have to pull other sections of the IRS Code since this amendment goes all over the place. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow, but so far, the only changes I see is the wording from "major integrated oil companies" to "major integrated oil companies and other large taxpayers."

Keep tuned in for the next chapter unless I go crazy deciphering it. LOL

How The ACA Pays For SubsidiesNov 07, 2013
Short, but good article on NRP.   The new health care law will provide around $1 trillion in subsidies to low- and middle-income Americans over the next decade to help them pay for health insurance. Johanna Humbert of Galien, Mich., was pleasantly surprised to discover that she qualifies for an insurance subsidy, since her current plan is being canceled. Humbert makes about $30,000 a year, so she'll get a subsidy of about $300 a month. The new plan is similar to her current one, but ...

building sports stadiums says President Obama in his new budget proposal. President Obama’s most recent budget proposal takes aim at a tax exemption that has helped drive an explosion in publicly-financed sports facilities across the United States, a move that would end federal taxpayers’ role in subsidizing the construction of stadiums and arenas that often provide little economic benefit to their cities and states. As it stands now, cities and states can help pay for st ...

Chuck Schumer Is Gabbing About The Oil SubsidiesMay 16, 2011
They expect it to come to a vote this week. It would only stop the subsidies for big oil: BP, Sunoco, Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Conoco. The little guys won't be affected. The purpose of the bill is to make a dent in the deficit. It will NOT affect gas prices.  "The government sends $1 billion a day overseas to countries we don't like." I think this is the one they are talking about: Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to deny to taxpayers with gross ...

Pocketing Obamacare Tax Subsidies Could Result In An $800 Tax Bill For U.S. HouseholdsMar 24, 2015
Experts have long worried that millions of Obamacare recipients will file their taxes this year and and get hit with an unexpected tax bill. The reason? They possibly underestimated their income for the year and wound up pocketing a bigger health care tax subsidy than they should have. Now we have a better idea of just how expensive that bill could be. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that more than half of U.S. households eligible for health insurance subsidies in 2014 will ...

Franken's Anti-rape Amendment Becomes LawDec 22, 2009
By Stephen C. WebsterMonday, December 21st, 2009 -- 7:35 pm Over the unexplained objections of 30 Republican Senators, an anti-rape amendment authored by Senator Al Franken (D-MN) became law Monday with President Obama's signature on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010. The provision was sparked by the gang-rape of a 19-year-old Kellogg, Brown & Root employee by her coworkers in Iraq. After returning to the United States, Jamie Leigh Jones found she couldn't sue th ...

Enter The 14th Amendment Remedy For Debt Ceiling Debaucle.Jun 28, 2011
For all those strict adherents to the Constitution, take note of Section 4: Section. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.  It would seem this brings into question the fundamental constitutionality of the imposition of a debt ceiling statute, which naturally is trumped by the Constitution.  Look for th ...

Found Something In My PieJan 30, 2012

I put my fork around what felt like a large chocolate chunk, put it in my mouth, and it turned out to be a metal frosting decorator tip. I didn't bite it or swallow it, as I was going to let it melt in my mouth to just savor the one bite I was going to indulge in. ...
