Well, I think they're right - they should index things a little.. Hey, I betcha that if they thougth about it, they're already doing so..

Well, what do you know, they're already collecting 12 cents more per gallon, at today's pump prices. It's called sales and use taxes. So, gosh, here's the extra money, already being collected at the pump and it can be applied immediately.

What? You're using that money for something else already? Then stop bothering the taxpayers with the concept of more taxes without delivering the services they're already paying for. Want a few extra billion in the pocket? Stop giving retirement benefits to most nonessential positions. Absolutely end retirement benefits for elected officials. Stop giving away the public's money for endless selfish greed.

It's public service. You want retirement, save for it, or get a real job.

In that regards, there's not a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats. They both tax and spend.
