European gas taxes go a long way toward financing their socialist cess pools. Let them rot.

“Most Europeans pay at least double what Americans do”

Does not mean we should. It means they're paying too much!

Liberal logic - Everyone must lower themselves to be equal with scum. Not, lift up the scum.

And we drive at least three times as far as they do.

Yeah, well liberals think we are getting a break because the government is not screwing us a badly as the Europeans get shafted.

If the average European is too stupid to want to keep his own money, that’s his problem. Here, we are going to fight to keep what we’ve earned.

Europe made their socialist bed, now they can sleep in it. Who cares what happens to those idiots and how does this make it easier for us to pump $4.00 gas!? We have oil reserves that could easily be accessed from numerous ways and locations. “It could be a lot worse” articles like this one should ignite Americans to drill baby drill! Instead most will say...”he has a point”. “We should be thankful blah, blah”.

Love how the libtard media is now downplaying the price of gas here, when back when Bush was in office they had an absolute COW over it.

Prices of gas in Europe are irrelevant. What matters in rural America where people drive 50 miles each way to go to work, where goods are trucked across the nation, where the public transportation infrastructure is mostly designed for cities, are fuel prices that grind us to a halt. It’s not like most people in the US can catch a bus to go to work and back. Besides, we have the resources to end this here, and make America great again, so I hope Americans keep whining.

If the taxes were removed from the equation, then how would Europe and the U.S. compare on the price at the pump???

Norwegian average income is twice of American. And they don’t drive as much. Charge them $15 a gal. and they won’t notice a difference.
