The goal, is to make the prices of energy "necessarily skyrocket" to use Obama's words.
that will happen in a recession and happen with NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVE.
and guess which socio-economic group spends the greater % of their income on gas, electricity and energy? the poor and middle class. you know.. that engine of the economy who your boys have been saying needs all the breaks they can get because when they succeed, the economy succeeds?
How about this for a single piece of legislation???? Clintons Luxury Tax was repealed because everyone in their zeal to make "rich people pay their fair share" didn't stop to think about what it means to make condo sales, boat sales, plane sales and jewlery sales plummet... costing countless middle class jobs.
