Rep. Joe Barton Defends Tax Breaks for Oil Companies

One might think that with gas prices and oil company profits both reaching absurdly ridiculous levels, a case might be made for rescinding the billions of dollars in tax credits oil companies receive to help the country pull itself out of its economic apocalypse.

Well, one would definitely be thinking all wrong…

This is what I imagine zombies would sound like if you put a camera in front of them and asked them to justify eating the brains of the living.

Except they might make a slightly more compelling case.
