Gas tax holiday, who are we kidding?

Ah, now the issue in the Democratic primary is this idea of a gas tax holiday.

Remember back in 1994 all that crap about universal healthcare for everyone? The $2,500.00 balance in medical bills that I have accumulated over the past couple years - and that's WITH so-called health insurance... Well, that's case-in-point of how well that worked out.

Gas tax... hmm... what does that fund. Ah yes - bridges and roads. One of those pesky bridges collapsed in Minnesota. You think the oil companies are actually going to allow their gigantic profits to replace that money? Nah, they'll tie it up in court or reorganize their corporate structures to evade it.

Gas tax holiday sounds like a great idea. So did bread and circuses to the citizens of the Roman Emprire. Oh by the way, we have somewhat of a gas tax exemption on every indian (oh EXCUUUUUUUUUSE me, Native American) reservation but they usually just jack the profits up and keep the money.
