Brokaw Wants to Tax Gas Back to $4 a Gallon

So says Tom Brokaw. And why not, he has plenty of money. What does he care about the common man? Here is Brokaw's question to Obama on Meet the Press?:

Let's talk for a moment about consumer responsibility when it comes to the auto industries. As soon as gas prices dropped, consumers moved back to the larger cars once again. The SUVs are the big gas consumers. Why not take this opportunity to put a tax on gasoline, bump it back up to $4 a gallon where people were prepared to pay for that, and use that revenue for alternative energy and as a signal to the consumers: "Those days are gone. We're not going to have gasoline that you could just fill up your tank for 20 bucks anymore."
