Who to Blame for High Gas Prices? hmm.
Don Seer:
we also pay higher road tax for larger engined vehicles.. and people running things like LPG were given discounts
Trauma-san:
Here's what I always find funny about these type of arguments, and I'll bet nobody on the board thinks like me on this one.
If it's THAT big of a problem; move. For instance, the guy in L.A. that says how shitty public transportation is... well, dogg, that's THERE. HERE, we have good transportation. You can get all the way across the city in a car, in about half an hour on the interstate, or you can take a bus, through downtown, in about an hour. We live in a populous with well over a million people, which isn't L.A., but why live somewhere where you complain about all that shit? If you don't like it, just move somewhere where it's better.
On the gas prices; Jome's actually complaining that the prices are TOO low in America. No; they're too high everywhere else. In my state, gas is at about 2.19 right now. Ultimately, you can't complain about the prices of gas wherever you are, because if it was THAT big of a deal, enough to get upset about, just move to somewhere where they're lower. Of course you'll never do that, you wouldn't have anything to bitch about then.
Matrix Heart:
Los Angeles/San Diego has great transportation just too many people with cars and there nothing you can do during rush hour traffic that's just life even if it's starts backing up at 1pm ;D
Los Angeles even has a Subway which many outsiders don't even know about ;D

the government collects taxes in return for service it is supposed to provide to its citizens. one of those services is stewardship of the american economy. so as long as anyone is a tax paying citizen of the US they have a right to complain about their governments inability to manage their tax dollars effectively.
