You would have to be insane or lacked even the foggiest concept of basic macroeconomics. Even a liberal democrat who wets himself over Keynes would know that in a period of turmoil in the economy when consumers have fewer dollars due to inflation or mass unemployment or in this case high energy prices, you do not take more dollars out of consumers pockets by raising taxes. Keynes would probably be saying cut taxes further and he would tell the government to spend spend spend! (I giggle when talking heads refer to the president as a "Supply Sider").
