California leads the way, again. We’re scheduled for a state increase of 12c by next year.

And how much have the sponsors and the rest of the political thieves stolen from the highway trust fund for other purposes?

The ads against Corker just write themselves...Corker wishes to raise your taxes by 12 cents per gallon. Corker is tone-deaf regarding the people he represents.

Just where the hell do these pompous asses think we’re going to get the 12 cents a gallon to pay for that increase?Since the demRats thoroughly wrecked the economy.

I guess they think I can just go to my Employer and order him to increase My pay enough to cover the increase.

God I Hate demRats.

Plan is to “settle” for less.

Anybody remember old John Anderson for President and his 50 cent a gallon gas tax platform? (that's when gas was a buck a gallon)

Yeah, this will help the economy. Everything will be going up in price as a result and consumer spending will go down. Companies will not sit back and absorb this as their shipping and receiving costs go up; it will be past on to you and I. So, essentially, we will be taxed two and three times over as companies struggle to survive and we as consumers struggle to make ends meet.

There will never be enough money for incompetent, corrupt and selfish politicians.

If we lose Iraq to the death cult now trying to take it over, gas prices are going to double. The last thing the American people need right now is more terrorism from Washington.

Obama says energy costs must be made to skyrocket. Corker doubles down.

With millions of people living at the margins of financial stability, cutting and scrimping wherever they can, what happens to businesses that depend on their trade when people are squeezed even more and they have to tighten their belts further to pay the Corker Gas Tax?

the proposal as a solution to Congress’ struggle to pay for highway and transit programs

Don't forget to pronounce that as "shtruggle" for extra believability...

Argh! (on so many levels).

-We’re dealing with high gas prices already (which is driving down consumption, which is a big reason these clowns aren’t getting the gas tax revenue they “need” in the first place), and now these two clowns want to bleed us that much more at the pump? Argh!

-They’re going to ‘offset’ these tax increases by extending 50 different tax credits. Ah-huh. Somehow, I doubt most of us will enjoy the benefits of those tax credits at the pump. And, leave it to Congress critters to find a way to keep 50 different loopholes on the books.

So it’s okay when the government does this, but it’s BIG OIL and Halliburton are evil when the price goes up otherwise. This on top of Corbet’s PA tax hike is brutal.

So, they want to increase taxes on every American who drives but tell us they will offset that with Federal tax cuts which only benefit the wealthy elite.

Nope. Government gets enough money. Cut back on the welfare state to pay for roads.

There are always a few Republicans willing to join the Democrats and stab America in the back. Corker has been a BIG disappointment,
