50% Tax rate on Gas
I've just found out that almost 50% of gas sale is on tax!
Look at this special tax on gas I've just found out! Federal Exercise Tax : 18.6% State Exercise Tax: 18.5% State Sale Tax: 7.5% These tax not include local and city tax! So if you add fed, state, local and city rate, you get almost 50% of tax rate. No wonder this is the best time to ride a bicycle to work! |

Re: 50% Tax rate on Gas
Too bad the tax breaks and corporate subsidies to the petroleum industries
are greater than the total of the taxes at the pump. Each gallon of gas you buy at the pump actually costs the US taxpayer money, it ain't a source of revenue.

NO! Those rates are not percentages, they are cents per gallon. Even if the price of gasoline at the refinery doubles, the taxes stay the same per gallon. -- Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the newsgroups if possible). |

I've blacklisted Red Cloud for this reason. Anybody know how to set a rule in Agent to automatically ignore any thread initiated by a given person? Maybe it's time for me to just go back to Linux and use a real newsreader...but I haven't got enough spare round tuits to do it. -- Rick Onanian |

Message:filter - its almost automaatic, although I don't bother to use it in usegroups. Its enough to have it set to show thread, although the self-referential threads get to be so deep that you have to move the fields to see who is sending what. Curtis L.
