Punishing the buyers for the bad decisions of the government won’t fix the problem. If you want us to rely more on domestic oil get the government out of the way.
You completely missed the point.
A tariff only on Middle Eastern oil to allow our domestic supplies to be built and the necessary infrastructure put in place. ONLY on Middle eastern imports.
The government is NOT in the way to the extent that they are keeping prices high, they are in the way as far as keeping the infrastructure here from getting built.
