#2 Oh, yes! Let us punish those evil corporations! Of course, this doesn't address the supply/demand problem in any way whatsoever. But we'll all feel better about being reamed, somehow.

#4 The oil companies will in turn raise the price and pass the tax along to consumers. Either Obama is an idiot or he thinks the consumers are.

#15 We need to put a tax on hot air. I think it would rake in a fortune, especially from such idiots as Obama, Gore, Pelosi, Reid, et. cetera, ad nauseum.
