67. It's a bad idea all around but, hey, don't let the top 200 economists sway you.

Also:

1) She can't deliver it. Congress already told her it was bullshit, and Junior isn't going sign ANYTHING regarding windfall taxes which, by the way, she herself voted against the last four times it came up for a vote.

2) She has spent this mythical windfall tax twice; she already spent it in her own plan for alternative energy.

The truth is it would take money out of the already woefully underfunded Highway Fund, you know, the money used to fix the already crumbling roads and infrastructure PLUS it will cause the loss of an estimated 300,000 jobs (conservative estimate by the, well, you know elitist economists).

3) She can't stop Big Oil from pocketing the small change and raising prices on consumers to make up the difference.

4) She has called Obama and just about every economist "elitists" for telling the truth about this. Hmmmmm. She's disregarding sound advice. Who does that sound like?

5) This proposal has been deemed the worst policy position of the campaign and she has erroneously tied her wagon to it and is defending it.

Hillary is preying on stupid people. I never thought someone who is allegedly a Democrat would stoop as low as a Republican and purposely deceive people fishing for votes.

That's pandering any way you slice it.
