National Petroleum Profit Sharing Tax proposed by lawmakers
A Washington press conference unveiled The National Petroleum Profit Sharing Tax to impose a 30 percent severance tax on oil produced in America.

Critics warn it could hit consumers indirectly via higher oil prices and favor energy firms.
