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]

  • Assume consumers will get 60% of the reduction in tax burden

    But Clinton proposes a windfall tax against the oil companies to make it revenue neutral.

    So what was the reduction in tax burden on a gallon of gas?

    That's right: ZERO!!!!

    And 60% of ZERO is ZERO!!!
