5. "Discrimiatory taxes would put U.S.-based energy companies at a competitive disadvantage..."
HOW? By not handing them free money to add to their profits? that is 'discriminatory'? Isn't it 'discriminatory' that THEY are so special to get these tax breaks? That is just BS for 'we want to keep taking your money and adding it to our profits, if you stop giving us money we will do whatever it takes to keep making record profits, including price gouging as we're accustomed to these kinds of profits'. Sounds like we need to end the tax breaks and create new laws to control their pricing or nationalize them for our own interest.
