Wrong. Revenue neutral means revenue neutral.

(And, if the US economy can't cope with higher oil costs... then just how inefficient and lame does that imply that we are? ALL of our developed nation peer group and competitors --- E.U., Japan, etc. --- pay much more per unit of oil, and yet manage to be QUITE COMPETITIVE with our industries. Are you saying somehow we aren't as flexible or efficient or competitive as Europe or Japan????????????)

Of course they will.

Such a tax would be a HUGE drag on the economy. The cost of all goods would go up tremendously due to increased shipping and production costs in the U.S.
