Sociological study:

Implement a ridiculously slanted travesty of a phone survey about energy taxes, and see how many people press 1 to support an energy tax which would, somehow, increase energy production costs. Ask one more question and see whether any of them would press 2 to support a tax which would threaten American jobs. There aren't any advantages to this tax, by the way; congress simply wants to worsen the recession in as many ways as possible. It's all about efficiency, people.
