#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.

Pure and plain.

Tax the pil companies, yeah thats REAL incentive for them to earn more and produce more - take More of what they make AWAY.

#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.

#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.
