Here in Pennsylvania gas taxes went up 9.5 cents on Jan. 1st. Whoopee!! More money for union bridge workers.

Well as we all know, gasoline prices now have two components, the cost of production and the added taxes.

The product cost rises and falls in response to the cost of the source material - a barrel of oil.

But the tax portion of the price NEVER goes down, only rises. And that will always be the case, because it’s an easy revenue grab for lazy politicians.

The companies that market gasoline are mostly tax collectors for the State. The tail is wagging the dog.

translation: Stunning advances in the technology of energy production are raising supplies, and as a result, two-timing backstabbing weasels like Tom Corbett may actually get away with it.
