A slight increase in gas tax would go a long way in solving many problems in the health care system in America. A slight increase in the gas tax would do next to nothing to solve health care problems in the US or anywhere else. Something could be done with that money that might help resolve some health care problems but your putting the cart before the horse. You have to decide what you want to do with the money and figure out how you are going to do it, and justify spending the money on it, then you can look for money to do it. There is no point in raising a bunch of money with no plan to spend it, esp. because you have to consider the fact that raising taxes in and of itself reduces freedom and prosperity. Tim

So cut us off. Destroy your own economy. If your special interests ever let such a bill get through Parliament, of course. But the Average price of Gas in Canada is about $3.25/g. I used tom think you people were too smart to let your gov't get away with such theft. It's our country, buddy. We'll decide what we want, not you. Oh, you do kow the next 2 sources summed are more than 50% greater than Canada's imports, right? api-ec.api.org And US domestic production was 5.289M b/d. 250% of Canadian imports.
