Say yes to a gas-tax holiday

Who in their right mind would pass up the chance of taking back federal taxes from gasoline? We are taxed to death. We pay federal and state income taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, social security taxes, employment taxes, county taxes, municipal energy taxes, sales taxes, government and local service charges, surcharges and fees. I'm sick and tired of hearing about government waste, more spending, misuse of government issued credit cards, Medicare fraud and pet projects. If I get $30 back, that puts bread and milk on the table. For someone on a fixed income, that matters a great deal. So please don't tell me that fuel tax is a necessary evil.
