| A lesson to be learned A 'luxury' tax that eventually took a bite out of just about everyone in the country for over one hundred years, and still isn't quite dead yet. Remember this the next time some dimwit says he wants to 'tax the rich'. | |

Remember this the next time some dimwit says he wants to 'tax the rich'. You got it. The same analogy can be applied to say the federal gas tax. Who is it going to hurt more? The rich or the poor? Add up all the taxes you pay for gas at the federal, state, county, city and local levels. We're talking 60 cents a gallon in some states. Now couple that with these stupid politicians (and certain idiots) bitching about the oil companies and how much money they make due to the gas prices. So why can't the government do without THEIR TAX MONEY???!!! If they care sooooooooooo much about the person hurting because of this, why don't THEY forego taxes. Hmmmmm, at $3.00 a gallon minus 60 cents, that's HUGE!!!!
They (politicians) never, ever come out and answer why they can't do without the tax when we all are doing without 'X' amount because its going for the higher price in gas. To those who say oil companies are greedy, fine. Include the politicians in there as well. Otherwise you have no credibility. | | |
