California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom just proved he has no right running a state, let alone a country.
Newsom believes he has the solution to rising gasoline prices.
Raise taxes on gasoline companies.
Dumb, Just Dumb
Newsom wants to start a “windfall profits tax” directly to oil companies…
NEW: I'm calling for a Special Session to address the greed of oil companies. Gas prices are too high. Time to enact a windfall profits tax directly on oil companies that are ripping you off at the pump.

He seems to think that by adding more taxes, the oil companies will buckle and charge less money.
In reality, they will raise prices and reduce investment more than they already have in this country.
The internet went bonkers after his post.
Christina Pushaw, the Rapid Response Director for DeSantis responded…
Gas prices in Florida are half the price in California. Why is it only California with $7 gas right now!

There were a few more interesting responses…
Only an economically illiterate Democrat would think enacting yet another state tax on petroleum companies will bring about a decrease in gas prices LOL. You couldn't make up this level of stupid if you tried.

Gas prices are $3 less per gallon in Texas. I guess Texas uses different oil companies.

While Republican governors, such as Ron DeSantis, are removing taxes to bring down prices, this moron wants to raise them.
When will Democrats learn that every cost you put on business owners trickles down to the everyday Joe?
