Oil is no gas
Gas tax. Gas tax. Gas tax.
No one really likes the idea, yet the call for a gas tax is growing louder.
So far, Barack Obama has been against the idea, but Fortune’s Alex Taylor suggests it’s one of the critical issues that Obama can seize upon to have the greatest impact on the auto industry of anyone since Henry Ford. Now, that’s saying a lot.
Likewise, another Fortune article has Paul Foster, the chairman and CEO of El Paso-based Western Refining, also calling for a new gas tax. In fact, he suggests a gradual increase of up to .00.
One might expect gas tax calls from liberal organizations, but when oil men and conservative business magazines start advocating a gas tax, you have to accept that it just might happen.
