....by getting tax-free gas for themselves, but screwing everyone else? I am sure he will just dismiss it as lies, and then tell us he "heard" it was so.

Rep Power: 88 | | | This is how civil servants work, I guess I am missing the hypocrisy as I'm sure the republicans do the same thing and both always have. The issue of the tax relief is a more serious concern as it is used to build and maintain the infrastructure we all depend on. This is the usual irrelevance from the party and ideologues of no ideas.
