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]

  • Elitest Love

    Love all the elitists simply in love with a regressive tax like gasoline tax. The poorer you are, the more a gasoline tax cut helps, the wealthier you are the less a gasoline tax cut helps - just the kind of thing elitests are oblivious to.

    I have an idea, how about for those who say an 18 cents saving is inconsequential, voluntarily paying an extra 18 cents. Hell since you don't really care, pay a buck more. You can afford it, right?

    Hope and change. Thats a laffer, hope for cheaper cappuchinos and more storage space on Facebook accounts while making sure there is no extra "change" for the poor.
