I'd settle for a tax that could finance our Iraq adventure.

Let's see, a very conservative estimate of 2 trillion divided by 150billion gallons of gasoline per year spread over say 10 years. Works out to about $1.30 tax per gallon for the next 10 years. I'd be willing to pay.

And I think gasoline demand slow down with that tax, which would probably cut into the funding for terrorist camps, islamofascist Saudi schools and mosques, Iran's nuclear ambitions, Chavez's plans to socialize south america, etc.

All and all a win-win as I see it.
