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.
