Oil companies pay taxes. You don't understand the difference between a tax break (paying a lesser rate, but still paying) and a subsidy (being handed a stack of other people's money). There can be a legitimate debate about whether oil companies deserve to pay lower tax rates, but calling paying a lower tax rate a subsidy is just intellectually dishonest and immediately sabotages any legitimate discussion.
