Geesh! Corker needs HIS can kicked down the road!

Taxed Enough Already spells the acronym TEA as in TEA Party.

I agree! t really ticks me off when R’s “cross the aisle” and put a bill together with their “friends on the other side”.

How about this idea ... gasoline has a fixed price at the pump. The lower the producer's cost, the more tax. If the producers cost goes above the fixed price, then the government makes up the difference. That way the government has an incentive to keep the producers' cost low.

I mean, this is a "good time" to raise taxes based on a temporary reduction in cost of the commodity. And a good time to REDUCE the tax is when the commodity price goes up. Corker wants to take advantage in one direction only. I'll help you kick his can down the road.
