As the poor - that means blacks - are unfairly impacted by high gasoline costs - Buttfudge’ proposal is racist.

They just spent $1.9 Trillion Dollars with no way to pay for it.
That kind of money could have rebuilt the Infrastructure with enough money leftover to hand put all those Kung Flu Bribe Checks.
The insanity continues unabated.

How does gas tax work?
Is it percentage for every dollar of gas or percentage for every gallon of gas?
