THE TAX HIKE IDIOTS ARE AT IT AGAIN!
Talk about being removed from reality!
Here we are, being hammered by one of the most severe economic downturns of the past 100 years and The National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing, a 15-member panel created by Congress, is recommending a doubling of fuel taxes! This nitwit move would wind up increasing the cost of EVERYTHING transported in the country and would shortly raise the cost of everything from fuel to food to whatever is subject to transportation.
While responsible leaders try to find a way to lower costs so people can have some of their own money to spend we see this little band of politically appointed gnomes emerging (apparently from outer space) to recommend a DOUBLING of taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel. We haven't checked but we believe most of these people truly come from another world! Certainly they must belong to the "tax and spend" liberal establishment, those who live on other people's money and have the authority to require someone else to pay their living expenses.
Who in their right mind would recommend increasing ANY tax under current economic conditions? Only someone completely removed from reality and a certified member of the IDIOTS CLUB would recommend RAISING ANY TAX in the present economic climate! Those in office everywhere, from local levels on up, should be LOWERING taxes in order to put money back in the hands of the people and to get the economy moving again.
