America certainly isn’t the source of all our problems but we do share similar corruption. George Bush and his entire family were involved in a significant amount of investment fraud including but not limited to oil fraud in Texas and Denver which crashed several banks that had to be bailed out. <br /><br />You are correct that doesn’t directly relate to the price of gas at the pump in Canada when we drive across the border and get it a lot cheaper than we do here. However, the larger greed of the oil companies does affect us in addition to the local extra taxes we pay on the gas at the pump including but not limited to the carbon tax. Yet I am suspicious when I see yet another 6 cent a litre jump in the price of gas when they tell us the price of oil per barrel is dropping. It certainly isn’t a secret conspiracy. We are obviously and openly getting shafted.Dennis Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736981069304416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576246045591350665.post-54487549448360338162011-05-12T12:46:38.725-07:002011-05-12T12:46:38.725-07:00George Bush is not responsible for the price of ga...George Bush is not responsible for the price of gas...back here in the real world.<br /><br />But your own province IS, and you can do something about that, instead of writing posts about secret conspiracies (not so secret if you know all about them though, I guess). Like, write yer MLA or write here about what really puts up the price, the taxes do!<br /><br />You pay a laughable "carbon tax" gas-tax (5.5 cents/l.) that has no policy or direction attached to it. It goes instead into general revenue, so Christy Clark & her Ministers can drive huge SUVs to work.<br /><br />You pay a large Translink gas-tax (15 cents/l.!). Why should someone who doesn't use public transit pay a transit tax, ever asked yerself that...?<br /><br />Then federal tax!<br /><br />Then Provincial motor fuel tax!<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/4y9lyrr<br /><br />Once that's all added up, you're then taxed GST on the gross, you're taxed on the previous taxes!! A true double-dip.<br /><br />And what does Agent K say, nuthin', zippo.<br /><br />Instead its all post after post about secret USA conspiracies.<br /><br />Do what I do to judge public opinion, man, and read the endless comments section about the gas-taxes!<br /><br />BC'ers KNOW its their OWN politicians who are responsible for close to HALF the price of a liter of gas! They don't do this to USA citizens, burden young families with brutal, impossible, five-layer tax schemes that lower our standard of living drastically and wipe out savings plans for our futures!<br /><br />Our problems do not originate with Yankees & everyone knows it except for Agent K!freddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874780016491360565noreply@blogger.com
