Obama Energy Tax Proposals
The Presidents FY 2013 budget contains billions in tax increase on energy production and consumption. These taxes will result in higher prices at the pump, increased utility bills, and fewer American jobs as companies flee the U.S. and companies cannot recover their investments. Below is a breakdown of energy taxes Obama put forth in his 2013-2022 budget:

Imagine what it’d be if he hadn’st promised to cut the budget.
FrankR,
Good use of the turn of phrase; especially like the Obama symbol in the eye.
Hey someone wake that guy in the corner up, yeah that guy with the GOP jacket on. SILENCE NOTHING BUT SILENCE I’m dumbfounded.
Lenin identified finance, oil, large industrial manufacturing, and mass transportation as the “commanding heights” of any modern economy.
With the exception of air and rail freight, mass transportation has largely been a state enterprise in the US for decades. TSA, unions, and escalating jet fuel prices are wrecking the air transport industry. Obama has already completed the seizure of the commanding heights of finance either through direct state ownership of virtually all mortgage finance or through regulation. He has seized or co-opted the largest manufacturers in the US, GM and GE for example. Now he’s working on the oil and gas industry. First, he wrecks its commercial viability with regulations and taxes. Then he nationalizes it.
It’s pretty obvious.
What’s not so obvious is whether his faerie dust and unicorn “alternative energy” schemes are grounded in utter ignorance of energy economics or part of a deliberate, cynical strategy to wreck the energy industry. Ignorance or malice? I used to think Occam’s razor would conclude that ignorance was more likely to be correct. Now malice toward free enterprise seems much more likely.
