cartoonpolitics:  In the past year, the five biggest oil corporations – Chevron, Conoco, BP, Shell and Exxon Mobil earned record profits of $140 billion. Despite that the US Senate, in a move led by Republicans, voted to continue paying over $20 billion .. (that's billion, not million) .. in taxpayer subsidies to major oil companies. The 47 senators who voted to ensure the oil companies kept the subsidies have received between them $23,582,500 in oil contributions. Well gosh, what a coincidence ! (source)
