OPINION:
Gas is almost $4 per gallon nationwide, everyone is angry and our president has a plan - to make things worse.
The Washington Times reported last week, “Mr. Obama says oil companies are profiting from rising pump prices and he wants Congress to end $4 billion in annual tax breaks for the oil and gas industry.”
This is a ridiculous solution to a complex problem. Oil companies don’t pay our taxes at the pump - we pay them ourselves. So Mr. Obama’s solution to our national energy crisis is simple: Raise taxes.
