A way to redistribute our gas money to his "friends"

Any Republican in congress that votes for this BETTER be run out of office on a rail in November.

Let’s call it the Willie Green tax.

It isn’t a fee, that sort of thing is called a tax.

So oil would cost ten dollars a barrel more than anywhere else. Way to help our competitiveness.

(Yeah, I know Europe has huge taxes on automobile fuel... but still..)

$10 a barrel fee when it is selling at $35? This is utter insanity, treason really. I lost a good chunk of money on a coal stock because Obama ran that into the ground. Now he wants to sabotage oil?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[punknpuss]

Slush fund.

Just so you have the numbers, the US consumed 6.97 Billion barrels of oil in 2014.

That would be a SIXTY BILLION DOLLAR TAX on the American taxpayer.

Damn this son of a bithc.

"By placing a fee on oil, the President's plan creates a clear incentive for private sector innovation to reduce our reliance on oil and at the same time invests in clean energy technologies that will power our future," the White House said in a statement.

It is called "Economic Coercion."

I really loathe this man-child.

[servantboy777]

>>Oil companies would pay the fee<<

This guy and all his minions haven’t a clue. Just like everything else, it’ll be passed through to consumers.

Man, I really despise liberals.

[txnativegop]

just when gas prices were becoming somewhat reasonable again.

Obummer will screw us again.

[BykrBayb]

I think that’s about 25% of the current cost of oil. Would he agree to add a 25% tax to the price of abortions, and send that money to abortion alternative service providers? How about adding a 25% tax to all ObamaCare policies, and sending that money to private insurers that are exempt from ObamaCare regulations?

"The proposal would have difficulty clearing the Republican-controlled Congress."

[rusty schucklefurd]

re: “Oil companies would pay the fee,. . .”

Triple face palm!! This same crap over and over again. How STUPID do you have to be to believe this excrement?? Oil companies will pay the fee???

I’m not a big fan of oil companies, but anyone who thinks THEY pay this fee should just be neutered with a dull deer antler.

[NYRepublican72]

Hell no.
