Gas Price totally out of hand!!

[Chubminnow]

Government - Just a bunch of the biggest, most lying, stealing, cheating, coniving, two faced, hypocritical son of a guns I've ever seen. Can't trust none of em'! Fire em' all!

Don't let the people fear the government, let the govenment fear the people!

Sorry...kind of getting off course here, just feeling kind of anti-government these days. I wonder what our good friend Willie Nelson has been up to lately?

Im with chubs. The only thing the government should be doing about fuel prices is eliminating their taxes on fuel.

Maybe if I rode around in that bus with ole Willy for awhile I would feel better at least.........

Oh no, gotta keep the taxes up on gas...maybe even increase it...because, you know, the oil companies won't just pass that down the line to the consumer.

Gas taxes are probably a pretty good money-maker for our government...

Gas tax per gallon: diesel tax per gallon
Illinois .69 .762
Kentucky .409 .439
Indiana .62 .765
Missouri .357 .417

One of the reasons Oil prices are so high besides the speculators is we have printed billions and billions of dollars and devalued the dollar so opec raises the price to compensate.
