This is like the stupidest thing you've ever posted. I have trouble believing you are really this stupid. Although it would validate a lot of my biases against MBAs.

It is a targeted tax that effects the poor and middle class the most. When it comes to words and actions liberals have a this nice way of reversion. Too get away with it they use different words so people don't see how screwed they are.

Another point. The Sales tax is on the price at the pump. That means you pay a tax on the tax. Screwed twice. We really need to get these evil people out of office, starting with Obama.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

Just when you thought the OP was the stupidest thing you've ever read, Fist comes in and doubles down.

You do realize that gasoline taxes have been around, like, forever right? They are not an invention of Obama.

No one ever said he did. If you want it to come down to blame Obama has plenty to share. It is his actions that have caused the prices to go up so much. Yes, he has a lot of weasle words and finger pointing but when you get down to the root cause you find Obama. Seem like liberals can never address the point. They always have to make a personal attack instead. If they don't agree (or more often don't understand) a point, they try to make fun of the poster. A sad product of our educuation system.

Either you actually believe that getting rid of Obama will get rid of the gas tax (stupid) or you just threw Obama's name out there as part of your usual thread idiocy but don't actually think Obama has much to do with gas taxes (even stupider).

Since when have you ever heard of a progressive sales tax?

Btw, the change you are ranting about has no effect whatsoever on the progressivity of the gas tax. It is just changing it from a % tax to a flat dollars-added-per-unit tax. This is not at all the same as a "flat" income tax. No one has ever seriously proposed an income taxation system where someone who makes 1 million a year pays the same absolute value in taxes as someone who makes 10000. Because not even RWNs are that dumb.

Dems are not supposed to support ANY regressive tax, numbnuts. Particularly one that taxes EVERYONE. Heavily.
