Congrats to John McCain for FINALLY proposing an idea that actually MAKES SENSE!!!!
|
Of course, I love the idea, and yes, why just summer? But I’m afraid that this is going to go over like a fart in church. The Feds/States/Counties etc. are making a killing financially on the gas tax.
Never happen.
I don’t consider it a good idea. I drive on this nation’s highways, and I think it is reasonable for me to help pay to expand them and keep them up.
In general, I don’t care for taxes. In this instance, the tax is taken to pay for something I use every day. Our highway infrastructure is very important.
Spend the taxes on highways and quite diverting them, and I’m okay with paying them.
I do think an investigative study should be launched nationwide to document where our highway funds are going. They certainly aren’t being used on highways.
BTW, was anyone else listening when Carter introduced this idea? The reaction was almost non-existant, a few hoots and a sparce amount of applause.
“McCain calls for summer-long suspension of gas tax”
I don’t like Juan, but I will give credit to him, this would be a good idea, especially if he could get the states to go along.
It would be nice if the MSM were to show such "balance" when reporting on the ridiculous speeches, programs and proposals of the left.
Pandering is just not for democrats, you know.
I like it....yes, it should go longer...
I doubt the States will never go along with this, but it will look like he tried and they failed.
Something has to break good for our economy, soon, or I’m going to have to buy a couple head of beef cattle and put in a garden again. We did that while raising our kids, so we are ready if need be.
Make it permanent and I propose it be paid for by a tax on Warren Buffet, which I am sure he will be tickled pink to pay.
Why not drill in ANWR or offshore?
A bandaid won’t work, Senator.
Revenue-neutral? Who cares? :’) Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Dog bites man story.
Democrats always try to buy your votes with your own money.
bbbbut, where’s the money gonna come from? How do we make up for the loss? He’ll probably raise the limit on SS deductions or some slick way of screwing the upper middle class again....
Just as an experiment, how about a 50% reduction of all income tax rates for 10 years?
