TAXES on one of the most important drivers of any economy.. ENERGY.. Taxes on energy that ADD NOTHING but only forces prices up.. They get you at the pump and get on the price of ANYTHING retailed..Due to the taxes in Kansas, gasoline prices tend to be 5 to 9 cents a gallon more than in Missouri. I know that my aunt drives across the state line just for buying gasoline in MO for that very reason. Granted, she doesn't live far from MO, but it hurts tax revenues in KS in border cities.

The price of gasoline in ANY STATE is far far more than 9 cents.. Government makes more money on taxes from "ENERGY" of ALL forms than the producers do.. FOR DOING LITERALLY NOTHING..
