This also makes for nice wedge issues. The Democrats have been patting themselves on the back for taking rad-state seats away from Republicans. Once they start passing their preferred Stalinist legislation, all of those seats will disappear for a generation.
Good point. Oil industry taxation could be a good wedge issue to use to win back congrssional seats in oil producing states, and there are more of those states than people realize. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Kansas, for example, produce a significant amount of oil and gas, and California is still a major oil producer.
Once they start passing their preferred Stalinist legislation, all of those seats will disappear for a generation.

Well put -- they will tax EVERYTHING between now and 2008 that they THINK cannot hurt the "useful idiot vote". Of course, as always, with NO REGARD for the damage this will do to our weak position on energy independence from the ME.
These Marxist morons are at it already --- TAX FOR POWER AND CONTROL, SPEND FOR POWER AND CONTROL. Karl Marx would be proud of these flaming leftists.
