Since the U.S. oil industry produces about 3 billion barrels per year, this translates into a tax of about $33 on every barrel produced in America, while leaving the 5 billion barrels per year of imported foreign oil untaxed.
========================================
STUPID idea if we want to be energy INDEPENDENT.

Tax the imported oil and use that money to find U.S. sources if you are seeking energy independence!

Jesus said "Come to ME, all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take MY yoke upon you and learn of Me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden light."
