There have been recent discussions wherein raising the road
tax on gasoline or diesel fuels have trial ballooned. The part that seems to
need consideration is who will be the persons bearing the costs. If you are in
business the cost of transportation has a level of tax deduct-ability as a
business expense. The deduction size will be a function of the taxable rate. If
you are the average wage earner you will have a low level of a deduction being
available to you. Even if you travel a high level of mileage for health care,
the level of tax deduction will only return a small amount.
If the Guy in the white house would stop blocking the
Keystone pipeline the cost of fuel might come down. If the cost of fuel drops
there could be a desire for an entrepreneur to construct a new refinery, or
upgrade one of the existing facilities. Just think of the number of; boilermakers,
carpenters, electricians, carpenters, pipefitters, insulators, iron workers,
lathers, etc., needed for the project.
Of course this would require less intervention by the ‘green
peace’s’. It is time the people of this country stand up and shout. “I’m sick
and tired of this and I am not going to take it anymore.”
