Hey, I have an idea!

Let's have the government come up with some new form of 'windfall profits' tax on the oil companies--something like Dick Durban just proposed. With a new incentive like that, we KNOW that the likely result will be more drilling, more oil and therefore, MORE and CHEAPER gas!

We all know that higher taxes ALWAYS work when it comes to providing incentives for increased production! (sarcasm-off)

<sigh> Why don't the Republicans ever come up with great ideas like this? Maybe we should all support the Democrats, since it's always people like Dick Durbin who keep coming up with ideas like this, which judging from this thread, so many Freepers would surely support.

(ugh)
