Gas Tax Holiday

Ok people, do your research.
A. The gas tax holiday won't pass
B. The economic experts almost all say it's "political pandering", bad policy, will probably raise gas prices, will put people out of work, will stop road construction, etc
C. As much as gas prices suck umm yeah it could be worse, the news mentioned my Dutchies... they pay FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON IN TAXES ALONE.   We must use a hell of a lot more than they do.  So we create the demand and hurt the environment, but they're paying in taxes what we're paying total... so umm yeah we have it easy.

In summary, if you're voting and are making your decisions based on things like who CLAIMS they'll give you a few months break on gas taxes (without telling you what it will really cost you) or who has a bad former minister or who might be a Muslim (yeah I'm hearing on the news that e-mail is still going around -- I never got it, I have smart friends), then do me a favor and educate yourself before going to the polls.
