Why Not Lower The Gas Tax

This entry was posted in Periodic Posts and tagged economics energy politics taxes on by

Here is a link to an explanation of why we shouldn’t lower the gas tax.

As I noted in my response to the proposal:

If Hillary’s plan is to recoup the taxes by charging the oil companies in a different way, why would she think that they would lower the gas prices because the way they were taxed had shifted?I know I could make a case for it, but it is hardly a sure thing.

The other problem I have with windfall profits taxes is trying to figure out how you define a windfall profit.

Wouldn’t a windfall profit tax be anti-free market? The possibility of profits and losses is one way that the market has of pricing economic risk. We should think long and hard before fooling with this market driven mechanism.

You have probably heard a few snippets of Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s speech at the NAACP’s Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner. Again, these snippets hardly do justice to him.

If you watch to the very end of part 6, you will see how well even CNN can cover the news when they really try.

You Have Been Duped Again

If the main stream media duped you over what Jeremiah Wright said in his sermons, did you actually expect them to cover his rebuttal fairly? That would be awfully naive, wouldn’t it?

I have links to the first 5 parts of his appearance at the National Press Club. I have as yet been unable to get the rest of it. To see for yourself what the msm has falsified, view the video of his appearance by following the links below.

On May 10, I found the link to part 6.  If you read this item before May 10, then you might not have been able to see part 6.

How To Watch a Political Debate on TV

I have discovered an excellent way to watch political debates on television.

When anything is going on except a candidate answering a question, mute the sound.

This simple technique let’s you avoid hearing inane questions from moderators who have no clue. They are unable to poison your mind if you do not listen to them.

In no case have I ever been unable to figure out the subject matter by just listening to the answers.
