Been getting a bunch of e-mails asking me to lobby congress to have the gas companies stop “Gouging†us with “high†gas prices. As long time readers of Boisee.com know this is a pet peeve of mine. Here was my response to one e-mail. In real inflation dollars gas costs about what it did in the 60's! Remember the 60's? When a Cadillac cost way under $10,000.00. A gallon of bottled water, or ice cream now cost more than gas by the gallon. In the old days, water was free and ice cream was a nickel a scoop. Those evil water sellers should be STOPPED.
Wouldn't it be easier to stand up to our government. They profit the most from gas prices. In most states, Idaho included-at least SEVENTY FIVE CENTS of your gas price is TAX. Guess that isn't as politically correct as bashing business! Â As John Stosel says . . .Give me a break!
