Any increase in taxes on corporations will automatically flow to the consumer so the middle class gets to pay for it. Any corporation that does not bake these costs into their pricing will go out of business.

Well if you are truly a deficit hawk then what's so bad about that? What so bad about a consumption tax? What's so bad about promoting domestic oil production ( jobs jobs jobs )? What so bad about lowering the trade deficit? I tariff on IMPORTED OIL will do all those things. WIN - WIN - WIN.

Again, you seem to have a very rosy outlook on government spending.

Why do you believe the federal government will EVER operate at a surplus long enough to pay down our national debt?

Why do you think a ‘tax on fossil fuels’ will be limited to ‘fossil fuels produced overseas’?

Your statements are illogical, and like the Bernie-bots, you seem to live in a fantasy world. Maybe you are just another Bernie-bot, too.
