You're wrong. Taxes are way too high. Everything is taxed. Everything. Most things are taxed two and three times. Reducing taxes is a basic tenet of conservatism. That includes all taxes. Its called fiscal responsibility. The gas tax is a regressive tax effecting low and middle income folks most significantly. Repealing the gas tax for 4-6 months is good politics. Cutting the gas tax permanently is sound conservative policy. Cutting federal income tax rates is also sound conservative policy. The federal governemnt should be satisfied with a 35% maximum federal income tax rate and a $2.8 trillion annual budget. $450 billion in deficits and a $9 trillion debt ceiling is more then enough irresponsible governance. The Feds don't need the 18-cents of federal gas tax.
Well, we may get to see who's right, you or me.
