So you’re saying the govt should mandate that I sell my crude oil cheaper than the world price so the govt can add a tax to it for the government’s benefit?
No.
In fact, I’m not so sure I would want a tariff now. I’m no economist, and others have enlightened me. If a tariff causes our oil to cost more than other countries oil, then no way.
I’m glad the world is buying our oil. Better people here make money on it, than terrorist-supporting nations.
I’ll leave government economic policies to my betters!
