Political Joke by Hillary Clinton and John McCain

Hillary Clinton and John McCain offer a Joke to Voters
Hillary wants to use a “windfall tax” on the oil companies (which will increase their expenses and thereby our gasoline prices - DUH!) so that she can use that money to suspend the gasoline tax for the summer. McCain also wants to suspend the gas tax to save us money!
Ok.. you ready for the joke? You just got it… this gas plan is a joke.
Real Life Example:
The federal gas tax is only 18.4 cents per gallon. My Acura TL holds roughly 15 gallons of gas and I fill up about 6 times a month. 15 x 18.4 = $2.76 saved per fill up. That’s not even ONE GALLON OF GAS! Ok, so 6 fill ups a month would be $2.76 x 6= $16.56 a month. Over 3 months I would save $49.68, roughly one fill up!
So Hillary and McCain’s Plan on Gas: Vote for me and I will save you about $20 a month on your overall gas bill. Hmmm. Sounded better the other way: Suspend the Gas Tax and save Americans “millions of dollars” this summer. (Of course, we won’t take office until next year, so you do understand this is all talk, don’t you?)
Although my savings would be $50, somehow I believe the gas prices would continue to go up as a result of the “windfall tax” as to erode my savings. And when that gas tax comes back, OUCH!
I hope others are seeing past these political jokes as well. This is nothing more than smoke and mirrors and when the smoke clears and the whole thing fails, these politicians will simply blame the oil companies again.
So does this mean we simply vote Obama? Not so fast… I just bring you this reality of the joke to make you think in reality when considering who you will vote for. Don’t just listen to their words. Discover for yourself what they are really saying.
