Greg Mankiw: Swap the Payroll Tax for a Gas Tax

What will work much more efficiently is a consumption tax..
In Europe they have the Value added tax ( VAT - 18%)
Canada has the goods and services tax (GST - 5%)

The Tax can be collected by the states, as they already collect state taxes, and the state will submit them to the feds.

System is basically already in most states in place ..

HO!

Perhaps it's time for you to go back to the 101 class as you must in denial..

"....The lack of response to an actual (if minimal) threat to supply support the thesis I have put forward here at TodaysFinancialNews.co... for months, and most recently in a Smart Investing interview with Krista Das: Prices had nothing to do with supply and demand. The lube-job on oil was performed mostly by speculators, not traders. Desk-jockeys who don't really have the wherewithal to make an honest living trading oil... but who moved markets and commodity prices by electronically allocating assets to the commodity that promised the easiest reward...."
