I just read this morning that a bipartisan group thinks a gasoline tax should be put in place to pay for infrastructure work. This tax would put the burden on middle and lower income workers, those least able to afford it. Because a wealth tax would be just too cruel on the billionaires and mega corporations!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.There's room for a gasoline tax AND a billionaire tax.
In this age of trillion-dollar deficits EVERYBODY has to pony up!
That's why I'm also for a national sales tax to replace the income tax. No exceptions, no deductions, of course.
Sorry, but in my opinion it's time to get real.
I know this a minority opinion but so be it.

Gasoline taxes are definitely regressive. We all know there are several different kinds of Republicans and several different kinds of Democrats. I don't have a Democrat to write to in Congress I hope some of the rest of you do.

I have one of each. No use writing to either. I know Casey 
will vote with Biden. I also know Toomey 
will vote with McConnell, no mater how many letters I would send. And forget about my Representative, he’s a Trumplican all the way.
