SEC. 4202. REPEAL OF TREATMENT OF FOREIGN BASE COMPANY OIL RELATED INCOME AS SUBPART F INCOME.Now according to my quick search, "The entire purpose of Subpart F is to prevent U.S. citizens, resident individuals, and corporations from deferring the recognition of otherwise taxable income through the use of foreign entities."
And Republicans just excluded oil related income from that statute, presumably so that recognition of taxable oil related income can be deferred through the use of foreign entities.
Taken together with the tax scam opening up ANWR for drilling, this paints a pretty stark picture, unless I am missing something.

That's the game.
That's possibly why Tillerson was appointed to Sec. of State.
Look at the people around Trump. It's about oil.
We need to try to switch to renewable energy as soon as possible.
Southern California, the Southwest in general should be entirely or as much as possible solar. There is no excuse for our extreme dependence on oil. We need far less of it out here than we are using.

Neither feel the need anymore to hide their antidemocratic agenda or their outright bribery anymore.
