Driving less yields less money

So, the states get less money from taxes on gas because people aren't driving as much. OK. So, the taxpayers are already paying enough -- don't tax more. I guess taxpayers need to call consumer credit companies to get the government on a spending budget so it stops its frivolous spending on crap that doesn't matter.

Here's another idea -- get America the stinking duck off of foreign oil you muckers! Don't do it over a course of 25 years, no. Do it flicking now! Not later, now!

Taxpayers shouldn't be made to help idiot lending companies that folded, nope. They shouldn't have to help Fannie Mae, nope. If these are not government companies, then the taxpayers are not obliged to pay penny one. If they are government companies, then clients have refunds coming to them for invalid charges, fees, and taxes. Either way, taxpayers should win.

If the government doesn't want a welfare nation, then it needs to stop taxing the heck out of working Americans who do OK right now or who are scraping by. They pay enough! The government needs to budget itself not taxpayers.
