Democrats cry wolf ver gas 'price-gouging'


Government gouges you at the pump

Comment: the government makes more when you pump than the oil companies. A sane read:

Excerpt:

Actually, Pelosi's constituents are being gouged by people like Pelosi — by government. While oil companies make about 13 cents on a gallon of gasoline, the federal government makes 18.4 cents (the federal tax) and California's various governments make 40.2 cents (the nation's third-highest gasoline tax). Pelosi's San Francisco collects a local sales tax of 8.5 percent — higher than the state's average for local sales taxes.
