Americans real income declined by 3.2% in the last year , almost 10% of Americans are unemployed and the economy is struggling to try and recover from the worst recession since the "Great Depression." Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (R- SC) and his Democrat buddies have a great idea. Let's raise gas taxes by 15 cents per gallon. When will the people of South Carolina correct this error?
Leading voices in the Senate are considering a new tax on gasoline, as part of an effort to win Republican and oil industry support for the energy and climate bill now idling in Congress.
The tax, which according to early estimates would be in the range of 15 cents a gallon, was conceived with the input of several oil companies, including Shell, BP and Conoco Phillips, and is being championed by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
