American Petroleum Institute Uses Stock Photos Of ‘Americans’ To Defend Oil Subsidies
 
Big Oil is using fake “Americans” to defend billions in tax subsidies. The American Petroleum Institute is running full-page ads in Politico and Roll Call that attack Congress for “new energy taxes”:

Congress will likely consider new taxes on America’s oil and natural gas industry. These new energy taxes will produce wide-reaching effects, and ripple through our economy when America — and Americans — can least afford it.

Well, certainly everything that happens in the states. It makes me wonder if they have news in Canada. He never posts anything about them.

Judging by what is said on these boards one could easily surmise that most Canadians are obsessed with the United States.

And Canadians are attracted to whining.

Alright. Why not? Makes about as much sense as anything else you've ever posted...
