George Frost Can't do complex math...
The weakest link in this article is that frost doesn't tie back the tax to its support of our infrastructure. We are not going to reduce spending on infrastructure - if anything it has to go up. So...
Reducing this tax for a few months means taxes to fix infrastructure have to come from somewhere. So if gas dropped by 18 cents, then the taxpayers would pay it out somewhere else. If any percent of it goes to the oil companies, then you are in effect raising taxes to cover infrastructure.
if anything, we should leave the gas tax where it is and raise oil companies taxes by orders of magnitude. oh yeah and get the f out of iraq. But Clinton was wrong about that too!
