"Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse are pushing a bill they say will help bring relief from high gas prices to Americans – as energy industry critics argue it would do the exact opposite. The proposal, which comes as Russia's war on Ukraine delivers a shock to global energy prices, is called the 'Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax'."

Some things are so stupid they just leave you speechless. I'm speechless.

They want to end fossil fuel consumption.
Period.
And when millions of people starve because of it, so much the better.

When in doubt, propose a new tax. That’s all the Democrats know how to do.

Putin is more than willing to sell oil to us. The war has nothing to do with price increase.
To: Bogle
Reducing production and raising demand never brings prices down. So that can’t be the Dems goal. Going green is their holy grail.

And the corporations will just pass the cost back to the consumer.
It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.
What a bunch of idiots politicians are.
The best thing that could happen to this country is if the truckers left DC and someone nuked it.

Going green is their holy grail. It's also Vladimir Putin's Holy Grail.
As in 200 bucks a barrel for Mother Russia, or gold coin.

Congress could impose a tax on oil companies profits, or they could simply repeal the gas taxes to give ‘us’ a break. One of these is easier to do than the other.

Yep exactly. I work in gated communities along the south Atlantic coast. They charge contractors daily, or you can get an annual pass. The HOA or POA set these up. All the contractors pass the cost onto the homeowners. Same thing the gas companies will do. Democrats and rhinos are flipping idiots.

These two clowns have a great idea: Let's punish the oil companies so they can't afford to produce more oil. At the same time, Biden will continue his stranglehold on productive oil leases, insist on the death of the XL pipeline, and plead with terrorist regimes in Venezuela and Iran to let us buy oil from them rather than let domestic producers create jobs here, and employment with tax-paying jobs. Brilliant...you twits!
