Reagan loved gasoline taxes; the GOP likes to tax consumption at the lower end of the income pyramid, always has, so this shouldn't be a surprise, either. My state govt. really really loves gas taxes, much more than Reagan did, too. Nobody in either Party wants to tax windfall profits from overseas labor racketeering and slave labor, after all., and we now have to pretend taxing dividends going to parasites who do nothing productive for the companies they own shares in nor the rest of the economy is allegedly 'double taxation', never mind they should be paying a premium for risk avoidance for their built and highly lucrative stop-loss subsidy courtesy of that socialist policy of 'limited liability'.
