rep. john dingell (d-mi), $.50 gas tax, cut consumption.

merrie says:

ALERT: With gasoline now hitting over $3.00 per gallon, what do you think Congress will do about this powerful punch to American wallets and pocketbooks?

If you guessed, "They'll raise taxes, of course" -- you're right!

We're not kidding. According to recent news reports, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) "wants to put a 50-cent tax on every gallon of gasoline to try to cut back on Americans' consumption."
