We aren't talking about workers. Most BP workers are probably poor or middle classed workers. Democrats support them more.

But the companies profit more from Republican efforts, then Democratic efforts.

Thus displayed in the link above. Quit trying to change the topic.

Do oil companies get more tax breaks and subsidies from Republicans or Democrats?

At least when federal money ends up in the oil sector, it helps fund exploration and employs a lot of people on stuff we're using right now. Renewable energy technology is still far too inefficient to roll out on a large scale, and will never replace more substantial power sources.

Meanwhile, Democrats are handing out billions of dollars into green energy companies they or their friends and family are financially vested into and profit directly from, but nobody other than conservative news outlets are willing to expose this outright theft of taxpayer dollars that's flowing into the pockets of the Democrats in power.
