Title: Time for a gas tax (something on another forum that looks incredibly ignorant)

Just reading an article on LP about how people are no longer buying the rinky dink alternative hybrid cars and someone posted that it was "time for a gas tax." And here I thought that there was both a federal and state tax on every gallon of gas that was sold in the US (maybe not Alaska, I don't know whether they have an excise tax on gas or not but every other state that I know about has it). Is it possible that someone could really be so ignorant as to think that the answer is always more and higher taxes? Someone seems to be in need of help and maybe getting his meds adjusted.

There are actually people who take classes each year and volunteer to help seniors and others with the preparation and filing of tax returns.

"TAXES ARE GOOD FOR US!" these state worshiping Munkins chant....

And, if a little taxation is good then a lot is better. Right?

It seems that in the "minds" of some--and I use the term loosely--there is no such thing as a bad tax. As Shirley Q. Liquor might say, "That is just ignunt."

There are entire classes of Americans who consume much more than they pay, including recipients of America's negative income tax. (If you make less than a certain amount the IRS will send you a check for 600 bananas if you file and ask for it.)

Elders on Medicare and SS living in retirement homes are a natural pro tax constituency, and after the AARP explains "the way thingz bee" to them they can't file fast enough.

I wonder if the person who did the animation really believes there is any "trust fund." It all goes into general revenues so that the folks who run the gubmint, in all their infant wisdumb can pi$$ it away without prejudice.

The producer of SAVE SONNY knows about the non existent "trust fund", and explains that it's a failed pay as you go system in Save Sonny Episode 4 - Broken Trust.
