With the recent (non)issue over high gas prices, there have been many “know it all” politicians out there who have come up with the perfect solutions to these high prices.
Hillary Clinton is the latest and boy has she come up with a doozy of a plan.
Here we have gas prices skirting and sometimes going over $3.00 a gallon (although they have gone back down recently), yet in the face of this massive ‘economic crisis’ companies like Conoco Phillips are making record profits (here’s a hint: SUV’s) on the sale of gasoline.
So what is Hillary’s BRILLIANT plan? She is proposing massive taxes on these gas companies to help fund a strategic energy fund to explore alternative sources of fuel.
The problem with Hillary’s wonderful plan is that while she swears left and right that this would not be detrimental to consumers, she fails to show how gas companies will be able to absorb these billions of dollars in taxes without…. RAISING GAS PRICES.
People, raising taxes on the people that supply us with our gas at a time when we’re already complaining about the price of gas, is utterly moronic. There is absolutely no way for these companies to pay those taxes and maintain the profit they’re in business for, unless they take that money from us, period. You think $3.00 a gallon is bad, unleash Hillary on these “evil” corporations and you’ll think $3.00 a gallon is a blessing.
