Shamelessly Taxing. This time, energy.

Well, another post about my FAVORITE guy, Mr. Geithner. As if being a tax cheat isn't enough, NOW he wants to tax American oil and gas companies because THEY are they ones that are responsible for Global Warming (and Our President has said he has NO qualms with gas being $4/gallon. Maybe because WE'RE paying for the gas he uses?!?!).

Hmmm...what happens when you raise taxes on companies, Mr. Geithner? Well, they raise PRICES on their consumers. Way to help out middle America, Mr. Secretary. Applause.

GetLiberty.org outlines this much better than I can...as I cannot separate my emotions at the moment. This guy is really pissing me off.

"There are two things profoundly wrong with this scenario.

First of all, the fact that a card-carrying tax cheat is dictating the nation’s weightiest tax policies is an abomination in and of itself.

Secondly, basing such monumental energy policies on the false premise of “Global Warming”—reinforced, of course, with junk science—should be a warning to all. This is particularly frustrating given the utter—and utterly unreported—lack of a consensus on the subject of anthropogenic climate change."

I don't know about you all, but I'm sure enjoying the gas prices at where they are now. Is anyone seeing a repeat of the Carter years when gas lines wrapped around city blocks?

From the Americans for Limited Government: Barack Obama is anxious to raise taxes on average citizens, and Mr. Obama and Secretary Geithner have no problem taxing energy producers that will only result in higher gas and oil prices! Tell Secretary Geithner to keep our gas prices low by calling his office at 202- 622-2000 telling him not target energy producers...or simply that the American people are on to him. TAX CHEAT.
