Maybe so, but if we have all this oil, why can't we put a tariff on imported petroleum and get rid of the income tax?
We need to return to the days of cheap abundant energy for the American people.
Who pays the tariff? And if we were energy independent, why would we be importing oil? Remember, the customer always pays for any taxes levied on the producer of goods and services. The costs of doing business are passed on to the buyer.
