The corruption is inherent in the system : Senate votes against eliminating $ 21 billion in taxpayer handouts for BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil,and Shell

Americans, your senators are not representing your interests, but those of big oil multinationals.

A Center for American Progress Action Fund analysis found that:

Each senator who voted for Big Oil [on May 17] received on average more than four times as much [money from oil interests] as those who voted to end the subsidies.

Despite the fact that around 3/4 of the population are against such subsidies (a recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 74 percent of voters support erasing oil company tax breaks).
