It’s supposed to punish the US government that collects 50 cents a gallon in taxes.

I thought the poster wanted to send a message to the oil companies. But you got me thinking. In the liberal democrat world view, everyone is a victim these days. Some groups deserve reparations. Well, the gas tax hurts the poor and working class folks the most. I think those of us in the lower income brackets have a moral right to demand reparations for paying taxes we couldn't afford to pay. What's the federal gas tax 18 cents? Well I'm guessing, I'm owed 3500 bucks by the federal government. It's not like that money has actually gone to maintaining our roads and bridges anyway. It's all gone to the general fund or one of Robert Byrds pet projects. I'm going to see if I can find a million people to march on Washington and demand that we all get a big fat reparations check.
