Come On, VOTERS
Obama’s alleged new politics now faces its first legit challenge. “What?!”, say you, “what about the crucifiction of the angry black priest man who dared criticize in angry terms the US?” “Humbug,” says I. Obama has done something far more radical than calling the typical white person racist. He has told the truth.
Gas tax relief is a stupid, though appealing, idea. Obama has said so. He has called it a scheme. He is against temporary repealing of federal gas taxes. WILL THE ELECTORATE approve of such keen insight and economic know-how? Or will they think the cheeky darky is now merely another tax and spend communist??? WHAT ABOUT HIS FLAG-LACKING LAPEL????
As an aside, here is why temporary suspension of the federal gas tax is bad: If gas becomes cheaper, demand will go up. Prices will then increase due to increased demand. Only then, we’ll be paying super high prices (again) except not getting any money for silly projects like roads and bridge construction. THEN, to pay for those things, we’ll re-institute the tax (you totally know at like the worst possible time), only this time it will be tacked on to record-high gas prices, driven up by the increased demand repealing of the tax initially created. Good Idea, John McCain.
