I'm watching these idiotic commercials about removing the gas tax in North Carolina so people pay less at the pump. Of course American's are liable to forget that taxes often don't equal evil, and that they pay for things like roads, schools, and parks. They're also liable to forget that our President and Republican Congress refuse to pass laws for windfall profit taxes for Oil companies that are currently making more money than God by gouging gas prices even higher. Why in the world would President not want to do that you ask? Doesn't he put the American people first? Then of course we recall the job that he had before becoming Govenor of Texas....oh. I knew our government was corrupt but this is getting ridiculous, bad conspiracy theory movie ridiculous. So seriously everybody, we're going to be driving soon and almost all of us will be attending public universities so if you think it's important to keep money in your pocket while letting your future college have the funds to feed you, house you, and give you scholarships then you need to give your congressman an email (no it doesn't matter that you're not 18). Just tell them that we need to put people before corporate interests and we should punish glutted corporations rather than idiotic citizens.

It's not raising the gas tax that bothers me, it's the time that they chose to do it. And technically, they are not gouging gas prices, as we are not in a state of emergency. Not that I'm defending the oil companies - I find their greediness despicable. But consider this - every time you buy gas, you are showing that you approve of this behavior.
yeah, it's disgusting the kind of stupid decisions the common man makes isn't it?
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, pchis, but yes. It is.
