Brilliant idea. Many Americans are up in arms over the high price of gas, so this will go over really well.
I suppose though that the people screaming loudest about all that gasoline revenue lining the pockets of Bush, Cheney, and their big oil buddies will have no problem paying much higher taxes because this is “for the children!”
The people who are dumb enough to vote Dem in the first place aren't even aware of how much tax is included in the price of a gallon of gasoline. If this tax ever passes, it will be immediately followed by a barrage of MSM stories about record oil company profits and CEO salaries. By the time the idiots see the jump at the pump, they'll already have their bad guy.
