JG @@ www.sailnow.com So when you gas up to you force the attendent to keep the excess you voluntarily pay ($5.00/gallon) or do you send a check to the oil company at the end of the year? If enough people wanted it, gas stations could raise the price to $5.00/ gallon and save the government the trouble of legislating it. I can easily afford to pay $5.00 a gallon. The question is how many gallons can I afford to buy? There will never be excess taxes on gasoline. The government wants to maximize gas tax revenue, not minimize gas consumption. The same with cigarettes. There is way too much tax revenue to actually want to outlaw smoking. There cure all is to tax leisure time. Americans have too much of it. If people spent more time working they wouldn't have lifestyles of excess consumption. Of course income would have to be reduced accordingly, preferably through taxation. |

It should be in the form of a gas tax. Big oil has nothing to do with it. I'd much rather the additional cost of gasoline be in the form of profits to big oil than in the form of additional federal gas taxes. The government needs to learn to live within its means. Just dumping more revenue into Washington won't solve anything. And the bottom line: the working poor still won't be able to fill their vehicles with gasoline, regardless of where the money goes. You live in an area with relative affluence. Around here we have lots of po' folk, and I watch them struggle with the price of fuel every time I go to the pumps. Most of them own the only vehicles they can afford--big old, poorly-running American cars with horrible fuel economy. I put gas in one elderly woman's car one morning. She had put in $2 worth--all she had--which was not even a gallon. She had to drive to a friend's funeral in a nearby town and she was worried that she wouldn't make it, let alone get home. So I put in $20 worth--it was the most that had been put in that old junk heap in over a year, she said. I recall John Kerry advocating much higher fuel prices during the campaign, ostensibly in order to force people and automakers to gravitate to more economical vehicles, and to encourage alternative energy schemes. Sounds great on paper, but no one seems to care that a large segment of our population will suffer under such artificially-high fuel prices. Max |

I know this upsets you. I'm sorry. More than upsetting, it is simply wrong. When one's wealth is taken away and given to others to equalize the relative wealth of a society, the stimulus for self-improvement and personal growth is removed. Ultimately no one works hard enough to accumulate enough wealth for the process of redistribution, leading to universal poverty. See: Soviet Russia and Cuba for examples. Max |
