This makes sense. Shifting any taxes towards the consumption side of the economic equation is always preferable to taxing incomes.It is time to throw this idiot and his minions out of office. I hope all the people who voted for 'change' are regaining their wits before they drive us back to third world status over a total sham!

Furthermore, our dependence on oil is killing us on multiple fronts. One, it's the primary reason for such a massive trade imbalance. It makes us susceptible to price shocks if supplies go up/down.
$6 a gallon would be a good thing in the long-term economic health of this country.
:roll:You bet! Let's do it Soviet style. We can all live in concrete tenaments and be right under their thumbs like they want us.
Hey, I have a good idea, let's toss the Socialist/statists out on their ears. Manmade global warming and the effects of man generated carbon dioxide are nothing more than like health care. They are vehicles that are hyped up and misused, soley for the purpose of grabbing you and me by the short hairs!
Please. You've never been to the USSR. You've never lived in the USSR. Stop comparing Obama to Stalin or Lenin.
Look man, Bush hasn't put the conservative movement in a moral high-ground where it can lecture others about things such as spending and size of government. I hate a large and overly intrusive government, but Obama wasn't the one that started this, he's just a continuation of what was done in WH when Bush was president...and if you believe that, I've got a bridge for sale. Which side of the spectrum do you think this slop comes from?
You ever heard of trial balloons? To think that the Leftest Apparatchiks had nothing to do with this 'study' is totally foolhardy.
What people do not realize is that this administration will push statism/socialism as far and as fast as they think the gullible rank and file liberals will buy it. That goes for the 'centrists' and the 'moderates' as well.
There is an old saying and I think it is Biblical. "You are neither hot nor cold and I will spew you out"
