        @StephenMerg @WSJ Greater transparency, allowed by Citizens United, would help greatly. But no politician would ever enforce those rules!!!

        @WSJ Sadly it'll be passed onto consumer; hurts poor and middle class (who drive to work and heat their homes with oil as well as elderly.

        @WSJ It's like a 30%+ tax on oil which will hurt poor people the most. Sounds like Obama.

        @HomenSherry @WSJ The purpose of taxes are to de-incentivize actions. Here, a foreign import that is a natural pollutant. But not a fan tho

        @WSJ With Obama's tax on oil for his clean transport, this is the private sector. Obama is a jackass.
