Democrats are looking to double the federal gasoline tax from $ 0.50
to $1.00 at a MINIMUM. Many want higher taxes and federal use taxes on
RVs. If we get a Democrat president and Congress the RV way of life
will be destroyed. I didn't work 40+ years, paying taxes all the
while, to be cut short at the twilight of my life. I'm sure many of
you feel the same. I believe seniors should be exempt from gasoline
taxes as well as the income tax. If we were exempt from those two
taxes and given free health care the social security checks would go
much further, I could spend the money on better things than doctors,
gasoline taxes and other people's health care. It is a true shame this
country does not take better care of its seniors.

Interesting, the above sounds like a Republican....

....while this part sounds like a Democrat.  Baby boomers are retiring.  How
do you propose paying for these things without raising taxes? I'll pay my
own way, and let my offspring have more money to spend raising my grand
children.

Overall, just a troll. The Federal gasoline tax, by the way, is 18.4
cents per gallon.
