[Robert Jan]

You should know that here in holland we pay just about what you pay for a gallon for a litre.

Another benefit of the Bush tax cut. Your $1340.00 average family savings will just be used up elsewhere. The benefit: Broke federal government that can't enforce law so business can run wild. I drive over 100 miles/day and put my chevy truck in the garage and am currently driving a $350.00 ford festiva with a 1.3liter. Enjoy.

Please re explain your point and where the momey would be used up?

I used to drive an Ford F-150 with a 5.8 liter V8. Damn am i glad i switched to a 4-cylinder Contour. All these people with trucks/suvs are getting raped.

Now that a tax hike hits everyone, people complain. You should think about this when tax increases are proposed for cigarettes, alcohol, property, etc. It is easy for a majority to vote a tax increase on something they will not have to pay; rather rest the burden on someone else.

Not to mention a gas tax would fit in with the trend of demonizing fossil fuels and anything that requires them, i.e. SUV's, thereby punishing those who have made such "immoral" purchases.

God forbid we protect ourselves by reneging on AIDS grants, loans to foreign countries, membership dues to the UN, defunding the NEA, pulling the plug on NPR, Amtrac, increases in public education funding, the fifty-trillion pork projects in existence, etc.
