They can suspend the federal gas tax, but that will not change the fact that gasoline prices will continue to go up and that’s not going to really help anybody at the gas pump.

Now you have states like Illinois and California that have very high state gasoline taxes you take those off and those people might see a little relief.

But will that happen I doubt it

How about dropping ALL taxes on gas for a period of time when it is way too high?? I know some of them might be rather necessary, but how many are just padding someone’s pocket? Did I mention California taxes?

A question to everyone complaining about gas prices...

What’s our republic worth to you?

Right you moron, because taking the tax off doesn't make it cheaper.
