Will cheap gas mean return to gas-guzzling ways?

Prices at the pump are dropping fast, and gas could fall below $3 a gallon in a matter of weeks, if not sooner.

Now that gas is so "cheap" it's a good opportunity for the Federal Government and the State of California to raise gasoline taxes. They are broke and the American consumer should be grateful to pass their gas savings to the government.

Why don't you Greg give all of your money to US Government? Oh yeah send some to me too! We need to look for money somewhere else, not in consumer’s pockets!
We spend so much money on stupid wars, financing stupid programs and letting corporations get a way with murdering our financial system and ……. I can go on and on.

Lenny,
I was being sarcastic. I'm tired of giving my hard earned money to the government. In California we pay an 8% gasoline sales tax on the Federal Gasoline tax....A TAX ON A TAX!!!!!!!

Bah... You guys should be grateful. In Sweden 70% of the gas price is taxes.
