Yeah, right. That's certain to help fix the problem. The economy is reeling already and they want to raise the cost of EVERYTHING that way? That's like trying to put out a fire by throwing gasoline ON it.
If the gov wants to help, ROLL BACK the existing taxes and give the poor working people who HAVE to get to work a break on their expenses.
Raising taxes on gasoline back in the 70s did work then, and the taxes were NEVER rescinded, so what makes them think it will work THIS time?
Does anyone know just how much tax is being paid for every gallon of gasoline purchased? ALL taxes, both federal and state?
With the TOTAL taxes we have to pay on everything, it's almost to the point where it would possibly be better to just have all our income go to the government and have them issue us a paycheck. It's pretty much heading that way anyway....
