Why can’t we be more like France? That seems to be the basis of the Obama Energy policy. Why? Because gas prices in France are high. So why are they high? Well ‘go green’ liberals would tell you it’s due the metric system, imperial gallons to liters conversion, etc, etc, – well just something that as a conservative, you’re too stupid to understand. That’s what they want you to believe. Well, it’s not really the gas. It’s the tax rates. France taxes gas almost up to 70% of its cost – so for every Euro of gas, add 70% in tax. However, in America, if you figure in both state and federal taxes, our gas tax is approximately 18%.
So the Obama policy of being more like France serves their Socialist agenda well. First, if they can get the gas tax up high enough, then by comparison, the high cost of ‘green’ energy becomes more palatable to the American public. When a gallon of gas cost $7, then you’d be more apt to plug in your electric econo-box every night – even though it only has a range of 100 miles. And even better, they can get more of those gas-guzzling SUVs off the road that those evil rich people love to drive.
Secondly, it would be a large influx of tax revenue to the Federal government – that would only go to fund more big government, and not go to paying off the crippling debt we owe China.
So go buy that Nissan Leaf and install those solar panels on your roof (if you can afford it)
