5/2/2008: A Tax Holiday on Gas!!!!!
There's a proposal out there to suspend federal gas taxes for three months during the peak summer driving season in order to give us all a little relief at the pump. Hillary Clinton and John McCain are in favor of the plan that would drop gas prices by about 18 cents a gallon. Barack Obama is against the idea, saying a price drop would just entice Americans to guzzle more gas. |
