Get this guys, today after watching the news the Gas price are going to reduce a bit. However, there is a question why the government is charging us more on taxes and paying the gas company less.

Most people often point fingers at the oil company but they have nothing to do with it, it’s the government who tax the gas prices.

Is this for America or a certain part of the country?
Wait. Nevermind, its coming on the news right now I think..

**wirlwind1** · 04-26-2006, 10:17 PM

Yeah it’s for America. I don't know about other countries though.

Ya I misread the "taxes" part. Gah. Ok the news went to commercial. Hm.

Why? where do you live? and do you pay taxes such as food, gas, electric, etc?

**imported_ewwharhar** · 04-27-2006, 10:10 PM

I live in San Francisco, California. Yes we have to pay taxes for all that =|

That's even a bigger issue over there, I wonder how much the gas price is now..

**imported_ewwharhar** · 04-29-2006, 12:03 AM

Right now its at least $3 and up. Not sure about the exact price but its $3 and twenty or so cents

Really? Wow I guess over the eastern side it's about the same. I don't get why the government tax us so much.

I live in Canada. Gas is about $1.13 per litre. That is extremely high, considering that not too long ago it was $0.80 per liter. I don't know how that amounts in american money and gallons, but it is really high and I wish the governments would do something about it.

I do not personally see why we pay any tax at all, the money we spend goes to ridiculos causes that i don't care about, or into an NSH that eats money and pays doctors 240,000 pounds a year.

I agree, the taxes are too much. Why do they take taxes from our pay checks and taxes we buy products on. On the other hand why is America in so much debt also?
