Stop The Gas Tax Hike

The Raleigh News & Observer recently wrote that Graham's "crusade against the state gas tax has hit a nerve across North Carolina." Governor Easley was forced to cap the gas tax and as a result North Carolina taxpayers will save $159 million in 2007.

With 35 years in the oil industry, where do you get your information that the planet is running out of oil?

"Duh. The other side of the equation econ. scholar is increase supply."

On a finite non-renewable resource. That is increasingly more expensive to extract and even factoring in technological improvements will not be able to keep pace with demand. You could drill every inch of planet possible and you will still face the same problem.

When you say "duh" you are speaking for your own lack of knowledge? Or have you swallowed the ANWAR and offshore bullshit so much it doesn't taste bad anymore?

Proof that most Americans know nothing about economics. The only way to lower the gas price is the lower demand. The best tax plan for that would be increase sales tax on cars/trucks that get less than avg25mpg and make any car that gets more than avg40mpg tax free for a year.

I live in NC(Black Mountain), but work in Greenville, SC. I buy all my gas for my car in SC. If we don't get rid of these Democratic crooks in Raleigh, this state is sunk.
