Thread Name: BS: Who is responsible for gas prices?
Subject: RE: BS: Who is responsible for gas prices?
plus governments who tax it,right now the sensible thing for any government,who wish to control inflation is reduce the tax,say 20cents a litre. reintroduce gambling tax,and increase taxation on non essentials like cigarettes and alcohol. GordonBrown[england]is an idiot,if he wishes to win the next general election,instead of talking about two pence reduction,he should think about thirty pence reduction. the problem is that if governments tax petrol on a percentage basis,as the raw material price rises,the government gets an increase in revenue,hence their reluctance.Dick Miles.
