You know you might be on to something Joe....

So I propose that we match the current cost of gas in tax dollars. That would me we'd go from $4 dollars a gallon to $8 dollars a gallon immediately. If the price goes up any, we match it. If it goes down, we reduce the tax 50% of the drop.

So, if gas rises to 5 dollars a gallon.. we add 5 dollars of tax for a total of $10 dollars. If gas drops to 2 dollars a gallon, we drop the tax 1 dollar so it costs 3 dollars a gallon. Then we'll see what gas can REALLY sell for.. if they don't lower it to the lowest it can be for them to remain profitable, they'll lose demand due to high price. So this would force the cost down, force revenues to go up to fund the change over and perhaps lessen the damage to consumers. However, if there isn't a massive incentive (i.e. getting away from high cost of gas) to switch, people won't do it. So we need a little pain to get people off their asses.
