So you want to suspend the Federal gas tax. It won't save me or many other folks much money, but ok. You say it works because you will then add a windfall profits tax on to gas companies and make it illegal for them to pass the tax on to consumers. Cool.
So, how'se about you do that thing first. You know, tax the gas companies. Get that through, and then, you know, suspend the federal gas tax. You do it that way, and you might have my interest. Otherwise, I am not sure you will actually tax the gas companies, and it would turn into just a big old pandermonium. 'Nuff said.
Oh, and why not adopt the middle class tax cut as well, and end the tax breaks on the top 1% to pay for it. That sounds even better to me. I know Obama is on that already, but lift a page from his book for once, rather than McCain's. It'd help the middle class out a lot more, and not add more to the debt.
