Well its not an actual government imposed tax. However there is no question that President Obama and Interior Secretary Salazar are not in favor of high prices. Both are on the record as suggesting that, to force consumers into 'alternative fuels' we need to have much higher fuel prices in the US. In fact Ken Salazar has stated he is in favor of holding up on drilling permits even if gas prices hit $10 per gallon.
Its all part of the plan. Raised gas prices to that 'alternative fuels' become cost competitive. The problem is, unless they can set in place policies that can't be undone, the fuel prices will drop at some point and all the subsidies put in place to force us into 'alternative fuels' will become counter-productive and uneconomical.
