Earlier today President Biden was visibly angered by Americans who he obviously thinks are too stupid to not understand that government overspending does not contribute to inflation. Biden also said that the “bankers on Wall Street” are preventing more domestic energy production.
When it comes to the subject of rising gas prices, congressional Democrats are also trying to help spin Biden’s way out of the problem. What’s Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to give Americans some price relief at the pump? The idea is quintessentially progressive Democrat:
Putin's war is driving up gas prices — and Big Oil companies are raking in record profits.
I’m joining @SenWhitehouse in introducing a Windfall Profits Tax to curb Big Oil profiteering and provide relief to Americans at the gas pump.

How on-brand is it for Warren and other Democrats to want everybody to think that levying additional taxes will make something cheaper?
Oil companies were altruistic just two years obviously. https://t.co/pjI8bTIJVQ

Big Oil sure got greedy just as soon as Biden took office!
“Increasing the price of gas will decrease the price of gas”
Psssst — Democrats like high gas prices because it supports their green agenda. It’s not a crisis, it’s a plan. https://t.co/17Ep1iDA0x

Yes, it's time to tax working class Americans who are struggling to afford gas
These ghouls absolutely do not care https://t.co/17Ep1iDA0x

Biden earlier today said many Americans are struggling to stay above water, so leave it to the Democrats to want to throw those people cinder blocks to grab onto.
We must have faith that the fake BIPOC and white clubs only senators are doing what’s best for the American people.

Genius, because a tax won't result in them raising prices further to retain profits

Either war is driving up the prices, or greedy oil execs are. Choose a narrative. https://t.co/cdNEd4hOiI

As usual, the Democrats want it both ways.
