They know this bill will go nowhere, but it gives them ammunition as we enter election season. They'll sit back and point fingers at their Republican challengers, saying that the GOP kept mom and pop from receiving money from greedy oil companies.

Oil companies will get huge taxes that they will pass on to the consumer so that the government can send out checks to those they consider deserving. How stupid do they think we are?

This sounds like a wealth distribution scheme, transferring money away from the evil bastards who use gas powered cars, and into the pockets of the Tesla customers.

Every Democrat bill is a wealth distribution scheme. These people are thieves. They view government as a tool to use in looting your income and property.

Let me get this straight, FJB begs oil companies to pump more oil, and now he wants to impose a 50% tax on them. I'm sure this will encourage them to increase oil supplies...

It is stupid, but it's typical of the left. They always seem to think that business owners, companies will simply give some of their money back to the consumer. The truth is, they'll simply raise prices, so in this case whatever money they lose here, they'll get back from price increases.
