A tax or tariff on imported oil would give an incentive to domestic producers to drill for oil in the US, thus moving us to energy security. HOWEVER, the tariff proceeds should be returned to the consumers through tax cuts, or gasoline price subsidies, and NOT go to the Federal government to be WASTED.

Obama would waste every penny, and steal more. Not until he is gone.

send the tax money to the states for road and bridge repair

Tariffs only after the budget is really balanced (no borrowing from SSI or any other gimmicks). Then any proceeds to pay back the debt, what we are doing to future American generations is criminal and we must pay it back and not kick the can down the road...

LOL. First poster to note the Feral government use of tax dollars, very good.

If you keep logically thinking about it, you'll see that the purpose of Fedzilla IS to tax the tax-paying sheeple as much as possible.

That's why somehow..... magically..... the spending only increases.

Even BEYOND what is currently collected in tax.

And Feral gubmint goes to the banking syndicate to float bonds, i.e., borrow against future tax receipts.

To SPEND now.
