Obama is wrong about the gas tax
Think Clinton's plan to suspend the gas tax temporarily is a bad idea? A similar measure in Illinois -- which Obama backed -- seems to have helped consumers.
By George Frost [2008-05-06]

  • Instead Of Playing With Taxes, How About Providing JOBS?

    If lower and middle class families need financial help to offset the cost of higher gas, do it through the income tax system.

    Lower and middle class families only need financial help because Hillary and her Horny Husband thought it would be a good idea to ship millions of manufacturing jobs to overseas sweatshops, as part of their "No Despot Left Behind" program in the 1990s.

    Well, it was good for the millionaire elites on Wall Street, anyhow.

    Instead of offering a pitiful $30 tax cut to folks who drive a car (most or all of which will end up in the claws of the oil companies) and plunging the government further into debt, why doesn't Hillary triangulate in on a plan to restore our manufacturing base?

    One would almost think she doesn't really give a crap about lower and middle class families, and is just co-opting McInsane's gas tax holiday idea in an attempt to pander her way into the White House.
