A bill just passed in the House that will "investigate and punish gasoline price gougers."
I know who they are, and I would like them all arrested. Go to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. and you’ll find the people most responsible for high gas prices. We call them politicians and they are stealing money from every gallon of gas you buy.
If we could eliminate federal tax on gas, the prices would become a lot less "outrageous."
Once we locked up Congress, we could consider knocking more off gas prices by locking up individual state legislatures responsible for additional crazy artificially inflated gas prices.
I find it interesting that in my home state of Georgia, 10% of the cost of a gallon of gas is pure tax (once you add sales tax it jumps to 17-18%). Georgia has one of the lowest state gas taxes. If I lived in New York, the percentage of pure government gouging would be closer to 15% on every gallon I pumped. Stop the government price gougers!
