Gas tax, or Gasoline tax?
Gas tax would be methane, right. No Flatulence.
Meanwhile, all the gas(oline) stations are doing brisk business.
It’s pathetic really. The Government doesn’t explore for oil, they don’t survey, they don’t buy the rigs responsible for drilling, they don’t prep the land for drilling, they don’t drill the oil, they don’t transport the oil to a refining facility, they don’t refine the oil, they don’t synthesize the oil into its varying grades and uses, they don’t bottle or can the oil, they don’t transport the oil to consumer sales facilities, they don’t sell the oil.
They buy the oil, they heavily regulate the oil, they stand in the way of entrepreneurship and they tax the hell out of oil. Government is the problem and has never been and never will be a solution.
