So she wants car owners to pay more? That’s her solution.

Anytime your solution is taxing a massive group of companies that sell an item almost everyone uses, it means their solution is they want to tax YOU more and make YOU pay more.

Keystone XL Lizzie.

Seriously, how do they find people this stupid to run for public office? I’m sure the oil companies will not pass that tax onto the people buying gas at the pump.

You knew this was coming. They were going to tax the hell out of gas and on ICE cars to force people to switch to EVs.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

The country is nowhere near able to support moving everyone to electric vehicles.

They know this too.

They want to reduce mobility while lying and saying they are making things better for everyone.

Joe Biden has spent more than any administration in the history of the world.

I can tell you - they’re not going to stop.

They have seen how stupid the American people are how the TV mesmerizes them.

Any time a Politician wants to Tax, it’s really about Spending.

So we are going to “go green”. Ruin our economy and businesses to “save the planet” while Russia, China and India are burning fossil fuels at alarming rates and have no plan to stop for the sake of “the planet”. Exactly how is destroying ourselves save the planet this way? We plunge ourselves into darkness while the rest of “the planet” keeps using fossil fuels. As my father used to say, “How dumb can you be”? Of course he never came across the biden admin.

"So she wants car owners to pay more? That’s her solution."

Every solution Democrats come up with requires taxpayers to take it in the shorts financially.
