"Gasoline probably should be high to protect the environment."

You complain about a law-maker who was trying to get the National Housing Trust Fund Act passed, but then you push your own version of a regressive tax that hurt poor people much more than it hurts you!

Before recommending actions that hurt poor people, how about doing some actual research on how effective it is?

Studies show that higher gas taxes DO NOT reduce the amount of usage.

So, why are you recommending this?!

Do you care about how many poor people lose jobs from even one cent of tax?

Think. It only hurts for a short while.
