The Real Patriot Act

Mr. Friedman proposes a $1.00/gallon gasoline tax as a way to reduce the revenue to Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries. Interesting idea, but the American people would have Mr. Bush's head. Easy for a journalist to propose a theoretical idea because he world not have to deal with the fallout. Instead he could write about it.

Besides. having just bought a new RV, I'm not interested in adding 7-8 cents per mile to my recreation travel.

Any other ideas, Thomas, perhaps a BTU tax, not only on gasoline but all forms of energy?
