Big Oil companies seem to have no conscience, no remorse at all, taking public subsidies, gouging in prices, lying about climate change and, knowing that fossil fuel use is polluting the oceans, warming the atmosphere and raising the global incidence of asthma and other health ills. We consumers are actually subsidizing their lies and corruption of our government through lobbying, campaign contributions and other forms of influence. It's a form of being taxed by privately held corporations so they can use our money to bend our government into acting for their benefit and against ours. How rotten is that?
