  • The gas tax should be $10.18, not 18 cents!

    [Read the article: Obama is wrong about the gas tax]

    Why can't Americans be intelligent like the rest of the world? Why do they always have to be an 800 lb. idiot? The price of crude is pretty much the same to every buyer. Why do Europeans pay more than $8 a gallon at the pump and America less than half?

    Tax.

    Why do Europeans have a choice in transportation to and from work and Americans do not? Europeans have spent the tax on alternative forms of transportation. Have you 800 lb idiots visited Paris? If you have, you will find how easy it is to get around without a gas guzzler.

    Eliminating the 18.5 cent tax on gasoline is not going to save your asses now. You have for years lived on cheap gasoline and continue to want it still cheaper. An 800 lb idiot is a huge idiot who refuses to accept any pain for long run benefits. Do not cry when the day of reckoning arrives. The world is laughing at you now. Your war in Iraq, your dollar, your economic power are all going to hell on you. Elect more idiots. You get what you deserve because you refuse to think and act responsibly.
