Because I was referring to the taxes on the gas. We now subsidize oil by spending trillions protecting the oil fields with our military. If we got the tax money needed to fund the Fifth Fleet from gas taxes instead of income taxes, gas would be over $10/gallon.
And, what’s really sad about how much it costs us to control and protect the oil fields is that we (the US) use only a small fraction of that oil.
