Why stop the quote there?

$1.65 Billion, or 95.7%, comes from a single deal with the state of Pennsylvania for a tax-credit to build a massive petrochemical plant there.

The tax subsidies are a summation of all subsidies since 2003, not per year as the image claims.

The image tries to link federal SNAP benefits to total tax benefits for RDS. Of the $1.725 Billion listed on the page for RDS, total federal tax benefits account for $4.9 Million, or 0.2% of all total tax benefits.

Why stop the quote there?

Because none of that information contradicts the statement, "Its 1.7 billion in tax exceptions," so the rest of the quote was irrelevant information.
