Gasoline could very well hit $4.50, diesel $5.00 by summer. I’ve always said that there are 2 surefire ways to get someone’s immediate attention. Threaten his family or get in his wallet on a regular basis. Energy prices do the latter. The electric bill and gas bill comes every month. You put gas or diesel in your vehicle every few days. You actually see the dollars add up on the pump and you’re going, WTF!

I’ve always contended that if we did away with income tax withholding from paychecks and sent a bill to each wage earner every month for which he had to set down and write an actual check there would be hell to pay.

Have you ever wondered how they got people to accept withholding? Look up the history.
