What good is repealing the gas tax going to do? Put the state into debt? I know gas prices aren't as low as they were earlier but today when I was in Billings at 9:00 am the gas price was around $2.52. By 2:00 pm when I left town the price I paid was $2.44. The price is coming down on its own now that the gas from other parts of the world is finally reaching our shores. I don't see that we need to repeal the gas tax so we can pay more income tax to make up the difference. I would rather not see any tax but that is not the nature of our society so don't mess with what is all ready plenty broken Gov. You will only make things worse.

Have you seen the price of Diesel? The price isn't going down, they're just moving their profits back and forth between different segments, truckers one week, commuters the next.

So, how is removing the tax on gas going to change that situation?

It isn't going to change anything, it would make it cheaper at the pump temporarily, but it would only be moving the profits from one inherently crooked entity to another. My point was just that the prices aren't going down, not really, they (the oilco's) are just moving the money around to make themselves look better.
