See that is because you don't believe in society, or its benefits. I hope you remember that on your drive home. Either way talking to you is pointless, you refuse to see anything beyond your ideology. I will ignore any further messages, but you have a great day enjoying the benefits of society whilst you complain about paying for them.
Fair share = as much as needed for the proper functioning of society. We can debate what is needed for society but for pretty much any answer we can agree on they do not pay their fair share.
No, you do not need tax relief when your profits are many many billions of dollars. The corporation would not be that profitable with out relying on the publicly provided infrastructure, they can certainly pay their fair share of it.
Hell, as a single middle class person I believe a third of my paycheck goes to one government entity or another, and that is before I even see the money. You don't hear me begging for tax relief. I rely on the publicly provided infrastructure I am 100% ok with paying my fair share. As far as I am concerened they should be paying a third of those profits in taxes, JUST LIKE ME.
Remember ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country, and number one on that list is to pay your fair share.

Oil Subsidies That Should Be Removed
First, let’s take a look at oil subsidies that are obvious and unnecessary. Congress should eliminate the following subsidies:
Government R&D. The Department of Energy (DOE) has spent taxpayer dollars on oil research and development, including funding for unconventional oil, gas, and coal. Although President Obama’s FY 2012 budget request significantly cuts funding for the Office of Fossil Energy, decreasing its size by $417.8 million below the FY 2010 appropriation, it does not go far enough. The only funding in this area should maintain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, for which the President’s budget requests an appropriate $121.7 million. Eliminating all other fossil energy funding would save $399 million.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Tax Credit. Oil producers receive a 15 percent tax credit for costlier methods and technologies, such as injecting liquids and carbon dioxide into the earth. Many EOR processes are no longer in use, and the tax credit applies only when the price of oil falls below a certain level.
Marginal Well Production Credit. Marginal wells produce 15 or fewer barrels of oil per day, produce heavy oil, or produce mostly water and fewer than 25 barrels of oil per day. The marginal well production credit is another safety-net tax provision. This is another preferential tax credit that Congress should repeal.
Applied research of any kind—not just oil research and development—is better left to the private sector. The private sector should not be subsidized because of market conditions, as happens with the so-called safety-net tax credits that kick in if the price of oil falls below a certain level.
I would be fine with this permission except the fact that we subsidize the big oil companies. If we aren't going to subsidize green energy, then we should not be subsidizing any form of energy creation.
Why store it? They should produce less power using natural gas during the day, and then ramp it back up to needed levels as the sun goes down. Easy solution.
No idea, my TV has 4 HDMI connectors so I have never used one. I was just trying to be helpful because I figured that there was bound to be an adapter or something for that.

Shoot it was DC, I am willing to bet he wasn't the dirtiest politician in that city by a long shot.
NewtCare is also an acceptable answer.
Judging from the lack of job offers though he is not "Kick ass."

OK, why do companies making billions in profit need "tax relief"?

I think you calling others "low-information" is rather ironic. You seem to be convinced that it could never ever cause any problems whatsoever.

You're holding it wrong!
The drug has a very small profit margin, There is a reason they stopped making it in the US.
Define "fair". Is it fair if exonerating evidence is withheld? That happens more then you think it does.
You are assuming that they would get the same number of appeals, you are of course wrong.
