The US on the other hand, are cheese eating surrender monkeys where standing up to the middle east is concerned. A high gas tax would reduce our dependance on oil, which would reduce the power of the persian gulf states and improve our balance of trade (oil imports are a major portion of our trade imbalance).
Ya'll have already done that.. The US imports more oil from Canada than the mid-east right now..
"the major source of America's oil imports may surprise you. It's Canada. Twenty-one percent of the oil imported to the United States in June of 2009 came from Canada, making Canada the largest single-country source of foreign oil for the United States. America even imports more oil from Canada than it does all Persian Gulf countries combined;"
