America showed their desire for relief of high fuel prices by showing their desire for removal of the fuel taxes. Congress responded in typical tyrannical fashion by burning the polls and shoving the tax in our faces. They're planing to raise the tax. They think their may be a loss in construction jobs. So I ask this. Since when does taxing the poor into bankruptcy help the poor?
It has always been the policy of this rag to base taxation on peoples ability to pay it. If they think they need more money for highway construction then I say get it from somebody who can pay it. How about from Rush Limbaugh. He just got a new $400,000,000.00 contract. Let's see if he's willing to make a little sacrifice for his o' so beloved freedom to drive!
