I wager that gas will never be less than $3.50 again, even if we start drilling. This a problem of global supply and demand.

You're completely ignoring the role our weakened dollar is playing in this. The issue is more complex than people think, but I don't think you're one who fully understands it either. I question your libertarian label - you're terribly naive to think that once more tax money comes in, the tax rate on property will decrease.

The weak dollar is part of it, but only part of it. Global supply and demand is a bigger part. Also, I never said that taxes WOULD decrease, I said they should in theory. I’ve been alive too long to think that government won’t try to find a way to get more of my money, but that will happen regardless of whether more people move into my city. At least it might slow the bleeding, and if enough other conservatives move in, we might actually be able to start cutting.
