30 cents(estimated tax savings) is really nothing when you take it off from 3.80(expected average in the beginning of june, currently 3.65). It saves you about $30 the whole summer($18 if your is 28+ mpg).

Wow a whole $30, that really will help the economy and be a huge relief for my pockets(being sarcastic). Anyway, the gov’t will lose about 5+ billion dollars and will need to recuperate that from else where. Soooo… the gov’t will raise taxes in other places/take funds from other projects(road/bridge/highway fixing) or tax oil companies(which oil companies will lay off more workers or influence the commodities on the stock market to recuperate the $5 bil). Anyway that $30 dollars of savings will more than likely come back around to me anyway. So why are politicians trying to force it into action? I think we need to focus MORE on getting rid of the subsidies/tax breaks for the oil company and invest in finding alternate fuels.

   It mocks us! Let them eat cake, elitists candidates say. Phooey!

   I am reminded of John D. Rockefeller, robber barron, who kept his pockets filled with small change to throw to people to watch them pick it up off the ground. They groveled and picked it up. Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan were worse. A GOP legacy.

   Personally I think the tax break for regular gas is useless. I do support giving diesel a tax break. It would help a little in a few areas such as shipping, farming etc.

   This is a pathetic political ploy made by people under the misconception that the people in this country can be fooled just like they were fooled 4 and 8 years ago…

   I wish my gas was only $3.65 a gallon and it was going up to $3.80 by the end of June. Right now I pay $3.95 a gallon.

   The other side of the coin is Hillary’s make the Oil companies pay.
   If Govt dictates free market profits investors will bail faster than
   cockroaches, our retirement accounts will tank.
