We're really not on topic now, but what the heck...
The idea is to do things are both revenue neutral and lead to "better habits". A 10% reduction in US fuel consumption (an increase of about 2 mpg if current usage stays the same) would make a huge difference in the economy of oil. It might even drive the price back down to the same level as before, net after new taxes... :-)
Seriously, too much of the current conflict can be traced to the amount of oil in the region... to power the high flying lifestyle of the west.
