Ending our dependence on oil would be the answer to so many of our big problems in the World. Global Warming, The need for our involvement in Middle East Politics, are just a couple. So here is my idea for one area we can act to move this goal forward..First gas will have a $.10/ gallon tax added to it. the next year will be .20. the next year .30 and so on. This
graduated tax gives everyone fair warning that the prices of oil base products are going to go up and you better
begin to adapt. Most likely industries will change the fastest especially where their bottom lines are concerned.Finally to offset the impact on lower incomes from undue hardship. The bottom 10% tax bracket will get a
$1000 increase in their personal deduction the next tax bracket, 25% gets $1000 less 25%. The next, 28% get
$1000 less 28%... and I think you get the idea ( they'll include a chart, unfortunately it will come with 15 pages of instruction on how to read it). The last tax bracket, they get nothing. mainly because it's my
plan and I can do what I want.The federal budget effect of this plan is not really the point here. Taxes are often used to influence human behavior in directions that the society as a whole has deemed worthy. So I have not even attempted to calculate it impact, but for all you number crunchesr out there..... ready...... GO! There is no reason We can not do this. We are capable of such greatness as a society. We just need to be determined to make it happen.
