I'm with Nostatic on this one. Higher prices could probably do us some good. It would certainly jump start some change.
As for being "abused" by taxation of fuel prices. This country does a lot to see that fuel prices remain affordable. Hell, if they tried to shoot up, we'd even go to war over them. Now, the base prices are still very good here, and taxation is minimal. I think I saw something in the paper today about a $20 billion aid package going to Iraq which won't directly be paid back. Where do you think that money will come from; taxes. Tell me that bill isn't related to ensuring stability of our cost per gallon.
We ***** about lower taxes and increased services all the time now. We ***** about paying more for gas, our healthcare... Things cost money and our deficit is just getting bigger and bigger. As a country, we're living on credit. We need to all step up and pay for what we use, and work on conservation at the same time.
