Engel Bill to Block Tax Deductions of Oil Spill Costs
M

On the House floor, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) just said he will
introduce legislation that would prevent oil companies from claiming a
tax deduction for oil spill expenses. Engel did not give details on the
legislation, but I've put a call into his office to get a copy of the
bill.

It's been widely reported that BP plans to claim a $10 billion tax
deduction, and lawmakers have criticized the move, with Sen. Bill Nelson
(D-Fla.) calling for an investigation into the issue.

Damn...earlier today I thought I was kidding when I posted the idea that
BP would seek tax deductions on the cost of cleaning up its mess.

Oh, you mean Obama/democrats want the taxes on the income/product not
realized?

He's confusing what BP is unjustly after, a tax deduction to cover thier
screw up, with taxes on income that hasn't been earned. Or maybe it's just
very bad spin.
