^^^^^^^^^^^^don't go there right now on gas taxes. There might be a time for that, but not now.^^^^^^^^^^^

I disagree.

With all of this talk about gouging, anybody who doesn't mention the tax part of the price in my honest opinion is a friggin liar.

I see no difference, if we're going to complain about private industry gouging us we should also complain about government gouging us.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I agree with you about the price caps. Supply and demand is what will solve this problem. We need more refineries.

But to say we should ignore the taxes is as idiotic as saying that we should ignore the gouging.

Unless you don't really know just how much taxes is in your gas. Then I can understand why you said this.(though it changes from state to state)

I know exactly how much gas tax we pay. I live in one of THE highest gas-tax states. I do not think overall that there is any price-gouging going on. There could be a few individuals here and there who are, but if you are a proponent of supply and demand, then you understand why the prices have skyrocketed in the past few days.

Calling someone a friggin' liar is really beyond the pale, BTW.
