If this Hood character receives ANY type of government pension, let's eliminate it. Bronco should have his pay reduced to zero as well as his expense budget. Let Moochie cook, wash dishes and clean the White Hut.
Eliminate foreign aid payments. That should fill more than just a few potholes. While at it most agencies of the central communist government should be eliminated. All taxes should be slashed to the bone and the tax on corporate products should be eliminated.
What asshats! They want Americans to use less oil then tax them for doing it!
Here's yet another ex-Illinois tax hawk pressing his thinking on the rest of the United States. Take a look at Illinois pitiful road condition; do we really want the same on a national basis?
let’s get rid of the gas tax.
They won’t be satisfied until we have fuel tax like in Europe (mostly 60-70 percent of the price at the pump).
Let’s Raise the Gas Tax’
There is a winning campaign slogan!
I suggest every democrat and rino use it.
The only man in the country with even dumber ideas for transportation than Choo Choo Obama.
Hey Hood! Tax this! (writer makes rude gesture with right hand, and middle finger, while muttering deprecating adjectives)
I thought Obama fixed all the roads in the nation with the TARP or one of those programs Ray?
“...let’s get rid of the gas tax.”
:::::::::::
Let’s get rid of radical liberal tax-and-spend politicians!
Diesel costs me more each month than food. If you want the economy to soar, lower gas (fuel) prices. Lower electrical costs. Low cost energy made American’s wealthy. it gave us the freedom to live wherever we wanted instead of being tied to the bus line or walking distance to the train stations.
Of course that’s exactly the kind of control the Left wants over us. They’d like to keep us figuratively barefoot and pregnant. (Except we’d get free abortions as our God given right. Or, possibly Gia given right.)
Stop wasting the gas tax money on trolly cars and 70mph “High Speed Rail” boondoggles.
We can cure this by requiring everyone to buy Chevy Suburbans and drive them at least 15,000 miles per year.
How about eliminating the federal gas tax and allow states to do their Constitutional duty of handling roads. Maybe we wouldn't be running out of money if the feds weren't passing out gas tax money to every podunk town that wants to replace their curbs at intersections.
Hell, LaHood was pimping for canals a few years back.
And we wonder why we have to buy CHEAP Made in China crap...cuz we have to pay taxes, ss & Medicare, state and local taxes, taxes on utilities and just about everything else.
You’ve hit the nail on the proverbial head, Karl!
Get this damned central communist government under control, but it had better be quick and must include dragging the scum that occupies the White Hut out by his heels.
While at it the 1,000 staffers who fill up the White Hut and the annex need to be shown the street!
Next: Congress and the Supreme Kort!
“And we wonder why we have to buy CHEAP Made in China crap...cuz we have to pay taxes, ss & Medicare, state and local taxes, taxes on utilities and just about everything else.”
When I last had employees of my own, the cost was 1.45 times their actual pay. I’m sure it’s more now as I didn’t supply insurance. At GD they paid about $7,500 and I paid about $3,300 per year for a gold plated policy (that today would be taxed by Obamacare.) On average the insurance package added between 10-20% of total compensation.
If you have a business that required yearly tax payments then that’s a significant business expense. Then the government insists you have bonds and other things. A few months ago I called five pluming companies and the first four were out of business. (They’d mostly been in business for at least the 15 years I’ve been in town.)
The burden of the government’s piece of the cake very hard on the baker.

So, they raise gas taxes to punish people for driving too much, in inefficient cars. So the people drive less, in more efficient cars, and get punished for THAT!
Didn’t we just have a trillion dollar slush fund aimed at repairing infrastructure? If giving these federal a-holes a TRILLION DOLLARS didn’t fix the potholes why would I believe a few billion in gas taxes would fix the problem?
