Reasons to Vote: Suspend the Gas Tax but not rescind the tax cuts for the wealthy or corporations.
President Trump is pitching suspending the gas tax short term due to the high gas prices.
Great,I think that will help. But when it comes time to vote in Nov. please remember our national debt is at all times high and this is going to results in even less revenue coming in.
And remember, the President and the GOP refuse to even bring up for a vote the concept of a windfall profits TAX on oil companies as they make record profits or discussing the concept of not cutting the taxes for the rich or corporations.
Such as Exxon, who is committed to buying back 30B in shares. So money that won't go to improve plants / won't go as bonuses for people below the Director level and it won't go to taxes that pays for things like the Exxon Valdez clean up which if case you didn't know is still going on or more specifically is still needed. But Exxon is doing nothing to help, just left it to the taxpayers of AK and the US.
We need to get money out of politics, please vote this Nov. and demand more from all politicians.
FYI: Before most of our politician were bought and paid for they would levy special taxes to pay down debt. We need to demand whoever is in power do it again and soon.
If they can do it to pay down the Korean war we can do it for this new war.
