rb, there are good reasons to get rid of corporate welfare, including the subsidies/tax breaks to oil companies. Lowering gasoline prices is not one of them, because that's more likely to raise prices than lower them. But getting the govt out of the business of choosing winners and losers or promoting certain businesses will reduce the need for businesses to seek favors from govt. That means less corruption and less lobbying.
There are lots of benefits to limited govt. Reducing opportunities for corruption is one big one.
