Gasoline Prices as a TAX??????

Last Saturday President Bush compared the high (OK outrageous) gas prices to paying a tax. WRONG WRONG WRONG...... A tax can be repealed, modified, suspended, pro rated, and a dozen other things. Gas prices have to do with the freedoms that corporate America enjoys under the present administration. The President was casting aspirations on the Democrats (who raises taxes? The Dems of course!) by linking gas prices to taxes. Big Media missed this one folks........ Meanwhile Exxon-Mobile gives a retiring executive a 300 million dollar plus golden parachute...and I'm straining to find the money to put the tiger in my tank. Thank God for my bicycle and my resolve to use it..............................................
