Now The dems have openly stated that gas taxes and luxury vehicle taxes are one way they'd like to increase federal revenue. AKA raise taxes.

Yup,
the gas guzzler tax that exist today under A Democratic Administration will tripple, and that will include the Mustang, Challenger, Charger and Camaro. any car that does not meet the CAFE standards.

The Republicans have spending issues as well but refuse to raise taxes. The Democrats will spend the same but will tax you for it. Unfortunatly the Middleclass tends to take the hit from the Dems. With Republicans Are Kids are taking the Hit to try to figure out how to pay for there spending.
As A Conservative I have had big issues with the Bush presidencies, Sr. and Jr. they were both Big governemt spenders, I on the other hand want a Smaller Government and I want it out of my life, I want more freedoms not less, I want the States to control more of the day to day things like education, social services, ect. Why is this the responsability of the federal government? I am all for a more limited roll of the feds and give my state and my senator more say so about issues that effect us, then they would be more interested in helping their constituants and less on the Lobbyists.

Wow I am sorry about this rant, I was a History Major in College and I loved American History so this is a subject that I am very passionate about.

Oh and BTW yes we need alternative fuel but until then......
DRILL IN ANWAR Lets make our own Oil and stop buying from the Middle East. Allow Oil companies to build Refineries again, after 20 years I think we could build better, cleaner and more effient ones now...
