Do you know what happens when you raise taxes by almost $100 billion on oil and gas companies while we are already in the midst of a cost explosion? The price of energy, whether gasoline or electricity, skyrockets even more. Does that sound like something that’s going to help out the middle class? And how exactly is that part of a “build back better” agenda? //

Ask yourself who uses the most gasoline in this country. The answer is truck drivers, construction workers, delivery drivers, home-health nurses, and a variety of other blue-collar professions. Meanwhile, those who use the least gasoline are wine-sipping liberals in urban enclaves that take the subway or ride a bike to work. In other words, what Biden is proposing is just another payoff to his chosen demographic of far-left ideologues. //

Let's break this down. So, he charges $90 billion to the gas companies. That amount would trickle down to consumers, and as mentioned in the above article, would mean the American people and the trucking industry, which would trickle down to food prices being basically unaffordable, which would trickle down to families needing to be on government assistance.

Got it.
