I think it is Boston Tea Party Time

[reno]

Gas around here has went up again.

LOL, what does that have to do with the Boston Tea Party?

If you want to argue that the ~20 cents per gallon federal tax on gas is BS, I agree 100%

If this a gasoline "price gouge" argument then I disagree 100%

The federal government makes about double in profit what the oil companies make.

 

[metalmacguyver]

ehhh I think that the EPA would rape us if we started capsizing oil tankers.

Yea, lets dump gas into the ocean.
Thats really going to bring prices down.

A much greater idea then dumping it into our gas tanks.

Well not ACTUALLY dumping the fuel into the ocean, just like back when tea was over taxed and enough was enough, of course they were not my ancestors, I'm Cherokee... HEE HEE

Speaking of over-taxation, MA is trying to pass another $1.00 per pack tax on smokes.

We already have $2.51 per pack.

The Boston tea party wasn't about over taxation. It was about taxation without representation. If you don't like the tax write your Representative. If you don't like the price of gas, ride a bike. When the dollar gets stronger,i.e. a stronger economy, the price of gas will go down. Until then we all have to bend over an take it like a man.

The guys who dumped the tea were dressed up as Indians, so close enough...HEE HEE.

I guess you have not been to Canada, I don't know about else where but where i live ''cheap'' cigs are about 8.5 bux a pack, if you want a good brand your looking 10-12 bux.

2.51? Are you kidding? I have to pay over four, even up to five for the slightly higher-end stuff.

 

[mhughes165]

[philS]

Ha ha, no we have $2.51 per pack in TAXES.

They are around $5 per pack for the cheapies.
