The Power to Destroy

I guess he'll solve the Gulf oil spill by taxing it out of existence. Taking a page from Former Chief Justice John Marshall in the famous 1819 McCulloch vs. Maryland case in which he ruled that "the power to tax is the power to destroy", President Obama announced his intention to plug the leaking oil rig by...increasing energy taxes?

But taxation, for liberal Democrats, not only destroys, it can do all things. It's like fairy dust. Spread it around and it redistributes the wealth, heals the economy, creates jobs, improves health care, cleans the air and water, and, apparently, plugs oil spills as well.

Again, if we can't pummel these clowns this fall...
