Like tax rebates to poor people who don't pay taxes in the first place?
Amazing how states can have Tax-Free days for shopping but never a Tax-Free day for gasoline.
People would see how much a gallon of gas really is and get really pissed, really fast and for a really long time.
Want to see politicians work up a real sweat? Just demand a Tax-Free gasoline day and watch them run for cover.
Imagine gas in Connecticut for 60 cents less per gallon on one day and then back up the next!
This is really to all:
If they cut taxes on gas, the surge in demand will only bring up the price that much more.
Simple economics.
I don't think they thought that far ahead
"Are they also going to give a check to people who don't own cars?"
Why not? If they're of driving age and choose to walk, bike, or ride the bus to work, they're the ones actually conserving gas and energy.
