Now here is a SOLUTION ... pay European prices on gas ... thus inflate the
taxes we pay. THEN ELIMINATE INCOME TAX AND CORPORATE INCOME TAX!!! I would
LOVE that ... it would FORCE better fuel economy in vehicles and help
environmental issues and give the people more control of the money they
EARN!!! The infrastructure is already in place to pay feds for fuel ... so
why not boost up the figures??

Just a thought!! Plus I ride a 40MPG  motorcycle to work ... that's blazing
fast so I would save big time:-)!!
