Ignore that if you don't agree with it.
I'm just asking if you can defend it. If not, just say so instead of crying that people are asking about something questionable.
What? That prices at the pump will increase as a result of a windfall tax?
My point here is that imposing a windfall tax is the Dem response to issue at hand, and that this wont do anything to prevent the problem that's occurring (high gas prices). You can rant and rail about Republicans, but at least our plans can decrease gas prices going forward if implemented and at the very least wont automatically increase them.
What do the Dems have? How about you defend why you'd vote for a president who's said that he would impose said taxes? If you really think that gas prices are too high and that this is a problem, why not bash Obama and the Dems for their silly proposition on this?

It's not that my side suggestion that this may also provoke a fuel shortage is "off limits", but it would be nice if you'd address the whole issue instead of just the one part. Tell you what. I'll support my suggestion about gas shortages if you support the Dems idea of imposing windfall taxes on oil companies.
Deal?
