Let's Get the FACTS Straight about the Gas Tax!

I am so tired of listening to Barack Obama and his campaigners on CNBC and CNN tell the public that Hillary is supporting a gas tax repeal and our infrastructure is going to deteriorate! NOT TRUE! So let us PLEASE get the facts straight and be CLEAR on the Obama spin. My gosh, if a person is NOT listening intently to these debates, the TRUTH gets stamped out by the Obama bullies on the tube. I can see how anyone can be confused!

Hillary is supporting that the OIL COMPANIES pay for the Federal gas tax at the gas pumps and NOT all of us. Truthfully every and I mean every penny counts for us right now and the months to come. The OIL COMPANIES have made killer profits at ALL of our expense. The gas price is NOT fueled by supply and demand... just PURE GREED! Why NOT get them to pay for the Federal gas tax?

I have taken the following from the Election Fact Hub for you to read up on many many many other spins Barack Obama is trying to brainwash you with.

The choice is simple: Senator Obama wants the American people to pay the gas tax this summer but Senator Clinton thinks Big Oil should.

The Clinton gas tax holiday is financed exclusively through a tax on windfall profits from oil companies and keeps the Highway Transportation Trust fund intact. Hillary opposed a plan in 2000 for a gas tax holiday because it was financed with transportation funds.

“Considering that Sen. Obama voted to suspend the gas tax three times when gas cost less than $2 a gallon and has an energy lobbyist chairing his Indiana campaign, it's hard to take his latest criticisms very seriously. Senator Obama wants Americans to pay the gas tax but Senator Clinton thinks the big oil companies should pay it this summer.” - Clinton spokesperson Phil Singer

Today, Sen. Obama said: Now Senator Clinton is spending a lot of money on an ad attacking me for not supporting her and John McCain’s idea of a gas tax holiday for the summer...In fact, it is my understanding today, Senator Clinton had to send a surrogate to speak out on behalf of this plan and all she could find- get this, a lobbyist from Shell oil to explain how this was going to be good for consumers. [Laughter] It’s a Shell-game, literally.

Facts:

- Sen. Obama voted three times for a gas tax holiday in 2000 when gas prices were less than $2 a gallon.

- Kip Tew, the top advisor to Obama's Indiana campaign is an energy lobbyist. Tew said recently, "I'm not running away from the fact that I'm a lobbyist. I have a healthy client list, and I'm proud of it."
