Critique the claim that the profit of $99 million in 1Q 2017 by big oil was due to higher oil prices when in reality the price of oil has gone down, and argue that the reason for the profit is due to the tax credits given to big oil by the state.
The 1Q 2017 $99 million profit was due to "higher oil prices"?!  Liars.  Oil was above $50 at the beginning of the quarter.  Now it is $47.  The price of oil has gone down.  The reason for the profit is all the tax credits the state, with a $2.7 BILLION dollar yearly deficit, is still giving Big Oil.  Time to stop this corrupt nonsense.
