Default Re: OT: Gas Prices

There are already cries to increase both state and federal gas taxes because they are loosing money since people are cutting back do to the high prices. This is the same BS that the electric companies love too pull on us.

"We need you to conserve 20%" - we do and they sell that extra 20% to some other state and make [censored] loads of $$$$ off of it, then cry that domestic sales are down by 20% and raise rates by 20%. So now your not only using 20% less, but your now paying 20% more for using less.

It would be a criminal act, and should be viewed as one, to impose a new tax, or raise any gas taxes in an effort to exploit the current situation.

Any politican that thinks raising the gas tax will improve our economy is not worth voting for.

My $0.02 worth.
