If we put a modest export tariff on crude oil, an amount that would still leave the oil at a competitive price, we could start retiring the national debt.
Go read Article I, Section 9 of the US Constitution and report back.
Oil is already sold at a competitive price. How does adding a tax to the selling price not make it less competitive? Sounds like a typical liberal shell game. Let’s add a small tax and earmark the proceeds for debt retirement. Oh yeah and Social Security is in a trust fund.
