H,
RE:", if govt. raises my fuel taxes, but lowers my Fed. taxes by a similar amount"

LOL...Lower Fed taxes? You know taxes are a one way street...At best they would leave Federal taxes the same and raise energy taxes. Then after they spend the money on some unrelated program, the energy tax stays...

A 2% return is a joke, how many people couldn't
beat that; in addition, a lot more people would take an interest in their retirement savings. We need a reason for
young people to believe Social security will be alive and well for them also.


I wish I could have gotten a 2% return so far this year on my investments :(

I do however understand your point and agree with it.
