WTF? Iraqis pay 5 cents a gallon for gas?

[DJ_UFO]

The solution for that is to name Iraq as a new state of the federation. Then the oil is produced in American soil.

and Britons pay $6.24.

Which is about $10.05 once it is converted to US $.

Give it time and this will be true

The price of oil is the same all over the middle east....I know, cause I work here right now!

It costs about 10 Canadian dollars for 25 Gallons...to fill up car!

But it is the taxws that we pay at home because there is no tax on anything here!! Not even wages!

How else are we supposed to pay for this war?

I'm just stating a fact, not making a political statement. Here are some more facts:

While there is an 18.5 cents per gallon excise tax imposed by the federal government, the majority of taxes on gasoline are at the state and municipal level. As such, they have little role in paying for the war.

Additionally, no new gas taxes have been enacted by the federal government since the Iraq war.

Which leads us unavoidably to this fact: Gas taxes have zero role in financing the war.

Agendas not welcome here.

so lets say you pay $2 a gallon for gas, how much of that $2 is taxes?

Nah, he's got a hot shot team of trained monkeys that work behind him doing research while he types and smokes a big stogie. Pay wages for monkeys are pretty cheap.

We figured out his trick years ago.
