40 cents gas tax

[brotherxb03]

I heard on the news yesterday that they are talking about adding a 40 cents gas tax to up grade road's and bridges,since the one in Minnisota failed. That will realy help the already failing economy.

Vote for Democrats. That will insure anything that moves (or sits for that matter) will be taxed!:smile

I believe our gas tax is 65 or 75 cents.

What are they doing with the gas tax money they receive now?

I wonder how much of our gas tax money actually hits the "road".

I don't know about you guys, but seems like everywhere you turn around these day you see or here of a new tax or tax increase of some sort.

I bought diesel this morning for $3.15.....Went down about 15-20 cents.....Now they wanting to tax it 40 cents? These folks we have in office are 100% nuts. Our economy sucks as it is. I told the guy's at work a month ago, "You know the economy is hitting rock bottom again when Wal-Mart starts laying off". What do you know; Wally World has started laying off. Not gonna get into the politics aspect of this.......

Federal "gasoline tax" (really road use tax) is, currently $.185---our local (Oklahoma) road use tax is $.175 = $.36/gallon in Oklahoma (lowest in nation). Diesel road use tax is somewhat different.

The rest of the cost of gasoline is due to crude oil and manufacturing/marketing margin.

Can you see the Feds upping this tax by $.40? It would really never go down again and no child would be left behind!

Guys, we've been down this road before and the Allison Owners board isn't the place to talk politics.

Hell, we can't even plan a rally without a fight!
