My bad, I assumed you actually had more than the typical right wing rhetoric, paid for by the oil companies.
The government makes more money from each gallon of gas than the oil compnaies do. That's pathetic and it wouldn't be accepted by Americans if they actually listed the taxes you were paying as they do for every other product we buy. Why is the gas tax hidden and not shown seperatly from the purchase price like all other goods?

Do you have the habit of comparing net/gross revenues to one source to profits to others?
Anyone in the delivery business would be done with. Imagine all the Chinese and pizza places, furniture movers, couriers, etc. that would be out of work. The only solution they would have is to raise prices, and then, they would likely still go out of business since no one would be able to afford the exorbitant prices they'd have to charge.
What about truckers? The price of ALL goods would skyrocket. I guess this would bring new meaning to "buy local."
The ultimate big brother tax, limiting individual's free travel within the USA via taxation. Yet another layer of government bureaucracy with a new agency created: Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives Office. How are you going to like having a government required device in your vehicle tracking your travel/miles driven, to be taxed?

Why yes, the idea was floated 6 months before Obama was in office. See my link above.
Please, continue to say it was Obama's idea though. It makes for great, wrong conversation.
