Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Obama Proposes $10 per Barrel Crude Oil Tax

The treasonous bassturd hates oil and will do anything to get rid of it including destroying this country.

Did you guys think it would just be coal?


He thinks we need more solyndra.

State + fed = 56 cents per gallon tax here in NC

The Gov't makes more off a gallon of fuel than the oil companies


Mike

He didn't try this at $100/bbl. He would have been shot. Wait...I have an idea.....

While it does not divorce me from the all of the implications, I am so damn happy to not be working at this time. There is little worse than being in a senior manager in major oil during a downturn. Telling someone there job is gone...

'phased in over the next five years'


A deliberate sabotage on the next administration.

Obie must expect a Republican victory.

Just looking for another "Bush" to blame it all on.

Yeah I love the "going for infrastructure" comment . I thought all fuel taxes state and federal went to rebuild highway and road infrastructure. More money for the obongo vacation fund.

This more then anything tells you the mentality of this very [bleep] up individual.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha... Yeah, right.. They're just figgering out how soon they need to roll over and let the AIC have his $10/barrel tax...

Tell that to the senior managers and owners in other industries that their layoffs are less important. The oil industry must have really thought they had the world by the short hairs. In the end they are effected buy supply / demand just like any other industry.

What BamBam proposes is a "back door tax" per barrel of oil... to the oil companies.

Like that won't be passed on to the consumer at the pump and every other outlet of oil products.

To put this "tax" in dollars...

In 2013 the U.S. oil production was 7,441,000 barrels.

A $10 per barrel tax would be $744,100,000.00 dollars per anum.


It would come from somewhere. Want to guess from where?

Obama almost had a good idea. What he should have proposed was an immediate $10 per barrel oil import tariff. Saudi Arabia has manipulated the global price of oil to destroy our domestic oil production industry. We should not let that happen.

To Obama, the fossil fuel industry is a target to destroy in a feeble attempt to prop up the renewable industry. Like coal, he'd rather destroy it than allow it to prosper.
Look for a continuation of the policy from the two democrat socialists.

It isn't only oil and coal he has targeted.

Well it's working. I don't see a recovery in my lifetime.

oil ran up for 15 years as I recall. Every damn thing went up in price because of fuel.

Including the stock market, investment and retirement accounts, average wages and earned income, and employment. Of course, those are "evils" in the minds of socialists (like yourself), so it's no wonder you avoid those facts like the plague.

Here, you're advocating for ANOTHER governmental increase in the price of gas, when the already existing taxes to support infrastructure are being wasted by the government. Logic and clear thinking, as evidenced, has never been your strong suit.

The discussion should be whether or not the weaselly Republican Congress will go ahead, let him do it?

Why should Bam Bam worry? Wonder how long it's been since HE paid for his gas?
