As Gas Prices Soar, NY Lawmakers Propose 'Tax Holiday'

The hell with that! Make the gas companies lower the price, force them to, they are the ones making the big profits! why should any of us pay? you take away these taxes your going to raise them somewhere else.

Nationalize big oil!

It amazes me how stupidly most people drive, and then they bitch and moan about the price of gas.

Who pays for gas?

Truckers complain about the price of Diesel, then they fly down the road at 75 MPH.

Ah, my friend, you are so right! And perhaps one lash per million dollars of earned yearly income each to oil executive might do the trick. Then tar and feather them. I do so yearn for a decent rebellion; perhaps it is time again.

You're all a bunch of IDIOTS and COMMUNISTS! Listen to yourselves! "Nationalize" the oil companies!?!? Why don't they "nationalize" all companies? You're angry because a corporation is making as much money as it possibly can. That's what a company in a capitalistic economy is supposed to do! If you owned a business, then would you want the government to come in and tell you to lower your prices?
THINK before you jabber!

Gas in the UK is peaking at £5.00 at the moment and more increases on the way you have it at bargain prices in the USA

this is the kind of comment one expects from a spoilt brat

I think Patrick Henry is right, Time for a rebellion. But a tax Holiday on the gas tax. Who are we kidding. We'll ultimately be paying the price for this holiday on the gas tax, besides how much will we really save. It's just a gimmick to think the good Old boys in politics are doing us a favor. Besides then we owe them a vote. After all they scratched our back right. We need to all wake up. Save the holiday for a real change. Obama is looking better every day and I'm not from his party. Rebell at the polls before they push our country down the sewer. We don't just need a few new faces in DC and Albany we need a complete change. Out with the old and in with the new. It'll make a for a few ruffled feathers in the country but that is what we need. We've got to change what is bad when we can. After all we are citizens in this great country are we not? It's our responsibility, we have to take things back from all the politicians cause they screwed it up. If we don't do that we are shirking our duties as a citizen. I'm from Upstate but I have the same concerns as you all. We need a real fix in the form of a rebellion at the ballot box. It's our duty. Look at the post from the guy in the UK. Do we want that. We don't need $10 a gallon gas. We need to do something before it's too late. If we snooze on this one, we loose big time. Enjoy the bargain while we can. Good Luck Uk guy you need it paying those prices.
