"Big Giverment, which does NOTHING makes more revenue in this regard than Big Oil, which (by stark contrast) provides a very necessary service."

I don't know about you, but just about all the roads I drive on are built by government of one size or another, and paid for with fuel taxes.
You don't think that's a "necessary service?"

Surely you jest.

The Big Giverment which rips off the citizenry well beyond the Laffer Curve and then grandsatnds in dragging Big Oil execs before congressionsal showtrials?

Give me a break.

I never liked the idea of suspending the gas tax. It is a true user tax. Now if it is being exploited, that’s another thing.
