Biden responding to rising gas prices by asking for $90 billion in new taxes on fossil fuel companies

Earlier today, President Biden spoke about his plan to extend and expand the effort that he says will help families:

Pres. Biden says his families tax cut is cutting poverty in half and calls for it to be extended: "Let's extend the tax cut through 2025 and expand free meals for million more children in school." pic.twitter.com/G8PaPmPXMh

Those same families are also among the Americans paying a lot more at the pump these days, and this certainly won’t help:

The man is a genius…there is absolutely no way the companies could pass the cost of a tax hike onto a consumer….

Right!?

People think the increase in gas prices goes directly to oil companies and they think oil companies only produce gasoline. The stupidity is painful with these people in charge. Upside down world

So, in response to rising gas prices, @JoeBiden wants to … raise gas prices?

WTF?

Someone get him an ice cream cone and some note cards before he does even more damage. https://t.co/c3PJjI0Pmr

Democrats don't have any vision or well thought out policy positions for the country. They only have political friends, political enemies, and political rhetoric to sell insane agenda items designed to fool all the people all the time.

This is buffoonery pretending to be vision. https://t.co/2MrNOlMesT
