I haven't been reading the blog at LewRockwell.com recently, but I just glanced through the stories trying to find information on the victories of Ron Paul Republicans BJ Lawson and Congressman Walter Jones and I saw this story.

If Obama loses North Carolina tomorrow--and becomes likely to be the next Resident of the United States--blame his elitist's opposition to gas tax relief.

The Obama's are millionaires who made $900,000 in 2006 so they do not feel your pain at the pump.

Not that Tom Hanks' endorsement isn’t another kiss of death.

By the way, if you are anywhere near downtown Buffalo tomorrow, my group Free NY will be proposing the permanent elimination of the state gas tax of 32 cents a gallon.

How in the world can James Ostrowski actually argue that elimination of the federal gas tax would help consumers at all?

He probably didn't think of it any further than "it's a tax, kill it!". The fact that getting rid of that tax, in current real-world context, amounts to handing the money to oil companies -- which are already getting favors out the wazoo as it is -- must be too much nuance for him to handle.

Way I see it, the type of political environment that would make the gas tax a reasonable target would be one where the oil companies have finally "lost", resulting in the true cost of production and consumption being elephant-turd obvious & oil heading on the way out anyway. Anyone who understands how our energy policy REALLY works should be pulling to make the gas tax irrelevant, not to encourage more consumption.
