Description
I wasn't referring to the taxes that the corporations would be pocketing. They won't be getting the taxes. I never said that. The fact that suspending the taxes wouldn't have enough of an affect on the price of gas at the pump which I clearly indicated. The oil corporations be it Shell, Chevron, BP (whoever) would just do what they always do and ensure that the price per barrel "remains high" for as long as they can make it, and they do that by producing artificial shortages or use "natural disasters" as excuses to gouge people at the pump and raise the price per gallon. The problem is the corporations and the relationship they have had with the federal government and senators. The federal government is all to fast and willing to cut every possible tax break they can to companies like BP and Chevron so long as the lobbyists continue to line the pockets of senators and ensure their seat in congress for the next 30-50 years. That's one of the major problems, not removing the gas taxes. Will it help? Maybe? I don't know, but it's not going to make $6.00 a gallon drop to $3.50 a gallon. You might see a 25 cent drop in the price of gas at its current cost(at best). Even if the price per gallon dropped to $5.50....people would still be getting screwed at the pump and Oil CEOs would still be making billions not including their multi-million dollar bonuses they like to give themselves.
