Here is something else thought with the taxes. A quarter of gas stations in illinois are skimming money from taxes being made from the sale of gas! in the last 18 months alone a grand jury has indicted 14 gas station owners on doing this!!! Wow! I guess gas prices have gone up again in my area since our 3.45 the other day . It is now about 3.63! http://www.illinoisgasprices.com/GasPriceSearch.aspx |
I swear next thing you know there gonna charge us to breathe too >_<

Breathing makes carbon monoxide I believe. So maybe the EPA will start charging us an environmental tax on that! They already ask us not to throw milk down the drain because it has oil in it!

seriously i live in europe and i hate to pay so much for gas but there's just a good reason to have such high taxes. just look at what cars we europeans drive and what you americans drive. we have like 6-7 liter per 100km and your cars like 15-20.
the industrial advancement in this sewctor was huge over the last years and that's just fine for our generation and much better for the generations after us. if you would have the same cars, would have the same high standard for industrial systems and wherever else the world would be much better.
we europeans destroy the world still to much for the fw people who live here but we do something to help the generations who come after us.
