Should we raise the gas tax? After all, gas is below $2 a gallon in many places.
I’m confident that we can trust the politicians to lower it again if gas prices go up when the next oil market swing occurs.
I am a content and happy citizen of the USSA.

Notice Congress has not invited the heads of the oil companies back to congratulate and thank them for lowering their prices - why is that, I wonder?
If gas goes down to $1.20 / gallon will they feel sorry for the oil companies because they are not making enough of a profit?
They could give them a bailout!!
BTW- There will be no more corporate bailouts of any kind until I get one. I mean after all I have been a responsible tax payer and I didn’t mismanage my household so I should be able to get one also, right?
What he said!! 
No, that is exactly why you DON’T qualify for one!
Gas Tax - Raise it?
Taxes - Stop paying them?.
Push me any further big government, and i’ll be stopping payment on your allowance.
I would rather live in absolute squaller and be jobless, than work my ass of to pay taxes and only live slightly better.
If you are into the global warming thing and want to run the economy, it would make sense. Can’t wait to see the Ayatolah, Chavez, and Putin start to squirm when oil hits $30 a barrel.
If I were homeless, I would make a sign that said:
“$700 billion for the Bankers,
I’ll take a dollar.”
When are people going to realize that the govt is bailing out these companies, WE are. Bailing out the “Big Three” is nothing more than a bailout of the unions.
Dude, you blew your chances for a bailout. you’re suppose to buy a house 10 times what you can afford, a two cars that are three times what you can afford, max out 8-10 credit cards and then vote for change.:eek:
What about our crumbling infrastructure? Without new gas taxes, we won’t be able to repair it. Roads, bridges, curbs, park benches, drinking fountains, jungle gyms and monkey bars will fall into disrepair! We will be the laughing stock of the civilized world if that happens.

PS - I’m glad that the bailout, that had to be passed in 48 hours or the world would end, only took two weeks to pass and now only half of it needs to be used until Barry takes office. What’s $350 billion between friends?
Roads bridges and curbs are highly overrated, but I draw the line at park benches. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, they can kiss my ass:D.
If we cut funding to the multiple generations of sponges living on public assistance, we’ll have plenty of money for roads and bridges.
And before any one says it, no, I don’t care if they starve or freeze to death in winter. I work to feed myself and keep a roof over my head. They can do the same or die for all I care.
I, for one, am tired of pulling the wagon while their lazy asses lay in it.
My thoughts, exactly!
raise the gas tax !no fucxkin way ! in case you have not noticed “tax” to a politician is like booze is to a drunk.
No more tax!!!I hope gas prices keep falling.
