Hillary today said she wants to repeal the gas tax. Instead she wants the oil companies to pay the tax for us. Where does she think the oil companies are going to get the money to pay for the additional tax? Does she think they are just going to pull it out of a hat like a magician does a rabbit?
No, Hillary is being disingenuous, because she knows that costs of doing business are passed on to the consumer, and every tax is simply another cost of doing business. It may sound good to the gullible, but mainstream, educated America knows different, and better.
Mainstream Americans' know that in order for a business to pay a tax they have to do it out of any profit they may make. In order to make a profit, the company must recoup the cost of the tax. Thus, Hillary seeks a shuffle of the deck. She doesn't really want the gas tax cut. She merely wants us to believe that she is responsible for doing such a thing. It will be a point in her hat, as if the point in it now isn't enough.
You can believe Hillary if you want. As for me, I would rather a tornado struck my house, and carried it away so it could fall on her in Indiana.
