14. It's not really about the tax.
It's an election year and it's about taking the "tax cut party" tag away from the GOP. So the GOP can't argue with it or they sound like they've been talking out their asses when they mention reducing taxes. And part of the deal is raising taxes on the oil companies. So the GOP is in a rock and a hard place. Either go against eliminating the taxes and piss off the voters or go with the plan and piss off their money pit.

Sounds like a great election year strategy for the Democrats to me.
