You seriously can't make this stupidity up...at a time when oil/gas companies are struggling to stay afloat the president wants to add a tax equivalent to a 33% tax hike???

Not surprised.  It's what liberals do.  

Trump says he'll add $50 to the price of iphones to force apple to build domestically, and republicans cheer.

Trump says he'll jack up prices on import cars by 25%, and repubs cheer.

Really depends on who is delivering the message.  Obama adds $10 to a barrel of foreign oil, and everyone shits a brick.

Just be consistent - it's free trade, or it's govt bullshit.  Can't be both.
