"President Barack Obama will propose a $10 per barrel tax on oil in his fiscal 2017 budget plan, an idea that received a chilly reception in the Republican-controlled Congress that oversees spending."

Not that I'm a conspiracy guy, but now the insanely low gas prices seems like they're in cahoots with Barry's agenda.  Drop prices, impose sin tax, and then get prices back to where they were just now with a sizable tax.

Yeah but that is just funneling more tax dollars to the govt, don't see how it is benefiting the producers at all

...IF...IF...the money (all of it) went directly to Social Security I would think about it.  I mean the part of Social Security for People over 62.

No they're not benefiting the producers, but at the end of the day, it's not really hurting them either.  They're doing it to help Barry, not themselves.

I still don't see how it is benefiting them though, it is a tax put on by the govt for the govt, if anything it will hurt them because people will drive less due to the increased costs.
