Wow, I hope you somehow end up wrong about Commrade Brown winning, GoldstateGOP. All local indications confirm you are likely correct, though.

Thanks! I hadn't seen that one before... The National Tax Limitation Committee

Now we need a The State Debt Limitation Committee!

They're not allowed to prevent an oil company from passing on the cost of a tax to consumers. Its an impairment of contract and is unconstitutional.

By requiring that the tax not be passed on to the consumers, but rather come out of the pockets of the oil companies, it is a bill of attainder. Actually, it is a bill of pains and penalties, but the attainder clause was clearly meant to cover bills of pains and penalties as well.
