    A better idea might be to pay for it by removing the billions of dollars in direct and indirect subsidies to coal, ethanol, and oil corporations, starting with an end to spending a billion dollars a day fighting self-perpetuating wars in the middle east to secure access to cheap oil (funny, it WAS cheap before we started doing all that).

    As far as taxes are concerned, we should raise taxes on the behaviors we want to discourage and lower taxes on the behaviors we want to encourage. Is that really all that controversial? Doesn't matter - economic research shows it works. So if you want to build an economy where we are less dependent on jihadist-produced foreign oil but where people have the incentive to work to earn more income, raise gasoline taxes and cut income taxes.
