Talk about a tax on the middle class...
Or we could read this news report from May 2012 talking about the fact that oil companies have now made GIANT discoveries of oil right here in the U.S. that could make us energy independent and have no need to import oil.

Effectively buying us plenty of time to develop new technologies in green energy without having to make it so expensive to fill the tank for lower and middle class Americans (rich people don't care if it costs $100 to fill the tank) |
