Federal Gas Tax is 18.4 cents a gallon.
The state I live in - NC - has a state tax on gas set at 48.6 cents per gallon.
That means that every gallon of gas I buy, is 67 cents going to someone who hasn't done one thing to actually make the product available. Just so you know - that basically is right near 25% of the cost of a gallon of gas where I live.
25% - and nothing to show for it. And somehow a quadrupling of the federal tax is supposed to make me feel better?
Do you honestly not think that the companies that produce the oil, refine and ship it - and sell it to the local gas stations, are not going to make sure that extra tax is in the price of their product? Do you really think they are all going to feel so bad that they are going to let a 52.6 cent per gallon tax just go against their bottom line?
You HAVE to be kidding me....
