Raising the "gas tax"

[carpoor]

This latest push is for a nation wide increase from the current $0.18 per gallon to $0.33 per gallon. (Nearly double)

They it hasn't been increased in 20 years, but the rep I mentioned in my first post could not say where the billions they have collected over the past twenty years has gone. In fact, he refused to in an interview yesterday. I have a feeling it is some sort of way to get more funding for this garbage healthcare law - disguised as a tax increase to fix "roads and bridges." I call BS. There are roads around here that have been in a state of disrepair for decades. I know it is the same in every state. Let's be honest, the funds aren't being used for what they say they are.

This is a horrible time for more taxes, it is just going to put more people out of work.
