Tax that gas

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...-construction/

Tax it more while it is low, then raise it back up and ******* us even more.

Thoughts???

I didn't vote for Obama but I also recognize that he has said this isn't going to work. He is not in favor of raising taxes on fuels. He also said the general public is hurting enough, no new taxes while he's President. We'll see if that holds true. It certainly didn't hold true for Papa Bush.

Yeah, 'change' doesn't take place until Jan 20th.
Everyone is chomping at the bit to hang anything around Obama's neck.

You can almost feel the pent up anquish to just unload.
This forum is gonna explode in three weeks.

But in truth, with gas consumption down, there is no other way to pay for construction.

"As long as we label it as something else we may have the momentum and acceptance to move forward."

Of course...

People will soon learn that you can't win with the Lefties. If we drive Expeditions, we're wasteful pigs deserving of a public shunning. If we drive Yugos, we're cheating the government out of their money and need to have our taxes raised. They won't be happy until everyone outside of Manhattan is huddled in caves warming their hands around dung-fueled fires!

After I blew off a little steam, I realize my original post was a little harsh. Edit coming.

I'm just going to roll with the punchs.
I figure while I'm watching the inauguration on tv my doorbell will ring
and a Federal man will take my guns, hand me a box of condoms and give me a stimulus check.

Yeah, I figured they'd hit Texas first.
Before you got a chance to gather at the Alamo.

They can blast all the Barry Manilow music over the loudspeakers that they want to -- we're not leaving the compound......

Well, it is a nice box of condoms.
And when they give you that stimulus check they wear gloves, all you got to do is turn your head and cough.
