Gas and gas tax combined. Ideal.

"New York Times" columnist Thomas Friedman says raise the tax now and as the market price goes down, I get the feeling that he wants it raised even higher.

He was at suggesting a 50 cents extra tax on top of then all types of gas taxes back in around 9/11, and recently was asking for a $1.00 this summer.

This is on top of my understanding that Gov makes more on a gallon of Gas than Mobil Oil.

Why? He says its the right way for the USA to get off oil.

What do you think?

I think he's a moron

Great. A tax that is "for our own good".

+1, moron.

The ideal price for me is 10 cents a gallon.

Any questions?

Given that this is a highly charged topic that is a major campaign issue, we are not going to discuss it.

For the record...

+2 the "moron" statement.

It's good to be King.
