Most of the pundits who make fun of the 'tax-free gasoline holiday' idea could probably walk to their jobs in Washnington D.C. I'd vote for someone who would lower my taxes and cut out all the pork-barrel projects, wouldn't you? There must be hundreds of billions of dollars spent by the federal government on pork projects. Why can't the politicians show some sympathy for the little guys, even if the idea doesn't work out to be much of a savings? All we have to do to bring down gasoline prices is to do more drilling and ramp up the supply.
