End tax breaks for corporations

At a time when the free enterprise system needs to flourish and the size of government must shrink, I have an actionable first step to getting the nation back on track. End corporate welfare as we know it.

Government should not be in the business of picking favorites and creating an uneven playing field.

Let’s start with oil companies.

Today oil companies enjoy massive federal tax breaks. Anyone who works hard and plays by the rules should be outraged. A cleanup of the tax code would be a great step forward in eliminating all federal subsidies from ethanol to windmills.

We elected Bob Dold to Congress to help force Obama to make tough fiscal choices with regard to subsidies and tax loopholes. If this is an issue Republicans and Democrats can agree on, what are we waiting for?
