Media Press Releases Pfluger Resolution Exposes Democrat Natural Gas Tax
Statement
WASHINGTON, DC--Thursday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) led eighty of his colleagues in introducing a resolution to expose the natural gas tax that Congressional Democrats are proposing.
Rep. August Pfluger: "Congressional Democrats are pushing a natural gas tax that will reduce our GDP by $9 Billion, kill at least 90,000 jobs, and raise energy bills for all Americans. President Biden's out-of-control spending is already driving up prices on everything--from the grocery store to the gas pump--while causing our national debt to skyrocket. Now, Democrats are desperately searching for new ways to squeeze even more money out of the American people to pay for their big-government programs. A natural gas tax is a tax increase on every single American that will disproportionately harm working families, farmers and ranchers, and our energy producers in the Permian Basin."
Pfluger's resolution is co-sponsored by Representatives Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26), Michael Cloud (TX-27), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Gary Palmer (AL-06), Robert Aderholt (AL-04), French Hill (AR-02), Steve Womack (AR-03), Rick Crawford (AR-01), Debbie Lesko (AZ-08), Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), Jay Obernolte (CA-08), Doug Lamborn (CO-05), Lauren Boebert (CO-03), Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Buddy Carter (GA-01), Andrew Clyde (GA-09), Rick Allen (GA-12), Austin Scott (GA-08), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), Russ Fulcher (ID-01), Mike Bost (IL-12), Greg Pence (IN-06), Tracey Mann (KS-01), Jake LaTurner (KS-02), Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Clay Higgins (LA-03), John Moolenaar (MI-04), Tim Walberg (MI-07), Tom Emmer (MN-06), Jim Hagedorn (MN-01), Pete Stauber (MN-08), Ann Wagner (MO-02), Richard Hudson (NC-08), Ted Budd (NC-13), Dan Bishop (NC-09), Kelly Armstrong (ND), Claudia Tenney (NY-22), Chris Jacobs (NY-27), Bill Johnson (OH-06), Bob Gibbs (OH-07), Troy Balderson (OH-12), Robert Latta (OH-5), Markwayne Mullin (OK-02), Tom Cole (OK-04), Stephanie Bice (OK-05), Dan Meuser (PA-09), Fred Keller (PA-12), John Joyce (PA-13), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), Glenn Thompson (PA-15), William Timmons (SC-04), Joe Wilson (SC-02), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Louie Gohmert (TX-01), Van Taylor (TX-03), Pat Fallon (TX-04), Jake Ellzey (TX-06), Kevin Brady (TX-08), Michael McCaul (TX-10), Ronny Jackson (TX-13), Randy Weber (TX-14), Pete Sessions (TX-17), Jodey Arrington (TX-19), Tony Gonzales (TX-23), Roger Williams (TX-25), Brian Babin (TX-36), Lance Gooden (TX-05), Burgess Owens (UT-04), Ben Cline (VA-06), Morgan Griffith (VA-09), Dan Newhouse (WA-04), Glenn Grothman (WI-06), Tom Tiffany (WI-07), David McKinley (WV-01), Liz Cheney (WY), Beth Van Duyne (TX-24), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Yvette Herrell (NM-02), Madison Cawthorn (NC-11), and Cliff Bentz (OR-02).
