The only reason the Dems are pissing over high gas prices is because it hasn't come in the form of a TAX. Weren't these the jokers that were and are screaming for a high gas tax to dissuade consumption?

Just goes to show them for the fakirs that they are.

Except that here in California they do have a 7.75% sales tax on each dollar of gasoline sold. This goes along with an 18+ cent gasoline tax for each gallon. Combined with the 15+ cent per gallon fed tax and CA drivers are paying approximately 60 cents per gallon in taxes for $3.00 a gallon gas. It's no wonder that the states revenues for the past year were 14 billion more than projected. What state goverement would want cheap gas when they can use it to increase their revenues?
