oh and the schools, parks, roads im pretty sure are paid for with tax money that WE all pay
srm775 said:$3+ dollars per gallon of gasoline is YOUR right to a free market right there. That is simple laws of economics of supply & demand. The more we demand gasoline, the lower the supplies will be, thus driving up prices. It's really got very little to do with the govt.
Sure, there are taxes levied on gasoline, but if there weren't you wouldn't be able to drive anywhere. The taxes you pay on gasoline are probably the most equitable of all types of taxes, it's called a user fee tax. The more you drive, the more gas you consume, so the more you pay in taxes. Those taxes collected are then used to pay for highway projects and maintenance and mass transit projects.
The federal govt. collects, on avg. 18.3 cents per gallon of gas the rest of the tax obligation is your state and local govt. taxing gasoline.

Skunkyhops said:Supply and demand my ass. Its been over thirty years since we have built an oil refinery. Why? If there is a high enough demand to keep gas rising on a daily basis why not increase supply? Oh wait thats right if the price of gas goes down the government gets less money. You think maybe there is a reason of why they are limiting the supply? It sure as hell isnt because we dont want to run out of oil. A Free market solution would be somebody going up to Alaska and tapping into the oil fields there, and magically the price of gas goes down.
