OMG DID YOU KNOW GAS is $7/GAL IN ENGLAND?!?!?!?!?
YES, IT’S TRUE, GAS IS SEVEN DOLLARS A GALLON IN ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT, WHY AREN’T THE OIL COMPANIES REPORTING RECORD PROFITS IN ENGLAND IF GAS IS ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH AS IT IS COMPARED TO THE US?
BECAUSE, OF THAT , 70% IS FUEL TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO ALMOST IS TAX IMPOSED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!! TAX MONEY THAT IS USED TO FUND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS THAT HELP THEIR CITIZENS. NOT THE RAW PROFITS THAT OIL COMPANIES MAKE IN THE US, WHICH IS USED TO PAY FOR OIL EXECUTIVE’S MISTRESSES AND VACATION HOMES IN ASPEN.
SO NEXT TIME A NEO-CON TELLS YOU THAT YOU SHOULD BE LUCKY YOU DON’T PAY , SLAP THE IGNORANT B1TCH AND TELL HIM/HER WHAT THE REAL DEAL IS.

Yeah, and you know what? Gas is nearly $8 a gallon in Germany, too, with an eighteen percent sales tax. People in Germany, from what I understand (I don’t know much about living on the economy, except what I’ve been told; we’re sheltered, living on a US army base) have medical coverage.
So yeah, actually, I would say that even though gas is outrageous in the US, I would much rather pay the prices there, than the prices here on the economy.
The reason those "neocons" tell people that gas is more exorbitant in other countries is to illustrate that those of us who are lucky enough to live in the US (or on a military post, we pay the same price for gas you guys do…or at least we would, if we had a car) should be grateful that prices aren’t as high.
The US could EASILY tax as much. Is that what you would want? Personally, I’d rather some rich oil tycoons being able to line their pockets, than paying $5 out of every 7 for taxes.
