Yes, let us tax the oil companies for making too much money (never mind that making money is what they're supposed to do. Why don't we charge a tax on the bars that make too much money on me during the weekend?). After all, everyone knows that when you put a tax on something, the price will go down, right? Right? Because companies never pass off tax increases to the public.
Taking 18 cents a gallon off of gas helps consumers, and the oil companies never have to pass off costs onto us. Adding taxes? Congrats, you're putting a burden on the people you're claiming to want to help.
As for no good solutions, I've got one, though it'll make your hackles rise.
