ROLL BACK THE TAX ON GAS !!!! FORGET THE DUMB REBATE !!!!

While I agree with forgetting the rebate, there are two problems with your rollback. First, the taxes that go toward the highway system will simply have to come from other sources. User fees (gas taxes) are always preferable to general taxes. Second, we are currently in a high demand market, meaning that the reduction in gas taxes may not reflect an equally lower price, thereby giving our taxes to the oil companies as additional profit.
