  • Tax cuts are a short term solution. Whenever the price jumps, conservatives are quick to point out to the cost of the gas tax. Well the gas tax didn’t jump up, so that is clearly not what cause the jump.

    Yes, lowering the gas tax would reduce the price. Until the next jump, then youre back at square one.
















  • Unless of course the government invests in those basic necessities to keep the cost to consumer low.

    Like having the government spend taxes on actual subsidized food production with the goal of it being a service to the people, not a business. Or on housing to the scale where real estate doesn’t get out of control due to low supply.

    Id rather a world where necessities are cheap and luxuries are expensive than the world we have now where necessities are expensive and luxuries are cheap.
