Have you contacted your federal representatives demanding action ? Nope. Just like increases in fuel prices had no affect on me neither does minimum wage. People might change their discretionary spending habits with increases in those and inflation but not much will change so not to concerned with any of it. just pointing out the hypocrisy of those concerned about poor people affording things such as gas but yet will fight tooth and nail on keeping them at slave wages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes democrats like others money. Smart ones keep more of their own money. Non refundable tax credits and deductions aren’t subsidizes…. It’s just business’s and individuals getting to keep more of there own money. the more EV’s on the road the more they help drive the price of gas down through demand reduction that would otherwise be on petroleum products Edited March 7 by BOHICA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So deephaven is incorrect that EV’s and the owners of them that get to keep more of their own money are responsible for oil prices “being out of whack”?

Deephaven Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 You can't read. Not what I said. Said you could solve the problem by subsidizing ICE & Gas like they do EV's. Price would go down on both and the issue goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people struggling to pay the bills and you seem gleeful that fuel prices will increase. Classy.

No. I said I don’t care if people suffer. Never said people need to suffer. Suffrage in the US in adults is self inflicted and not caused by the government.
