re: #141 Obdicut
Actually, it is, Reine. Subsidies can take the form of tax breaks. That’s an indirect subsidy; it’s still a subsidy.
A break on an existing tax rate, could be considered a subsidy.
A lower tax rate to begin with is simply - a lower tax rate. It’s NOT a subsidy.
It comes back to people, anyhow, in the form of jobs and income. Look at the info. I posted about Louisiana, and see how many households are supported, directly and indirectly, by the oil industry.
