GM CEO Wants Higher Gasoline Tax

Apparently the CEO of GM (Government Motors)Dan Akerson, wants the US government to increase the federal gasoline tax by $1.00 per gallon. Does he have any clue what that would do to American citizens struggling to get to work? With gas prices at near record high levels, an increase in the federal tax would severely strain the limited incomes of Americans trying to work and to provide food for their families. "In an interview published in Tuesday's Detroit News, Akerson floated the idea of a $1 a gallon increase in the gas tax as a way to encourage buyers to purchase smaller, more fuel efficient cars. Greg Martin, spokesman for GM's Washington office, confirmed that the quotes reflect Akerson's and GM's view." This twisted view of the world is due to the fact that GM's Volt is showing pathetic sales figures (never mind the Toyota's Prius is a high seller). So what we have is a political puppet of Obama in the CEO position of GM parrotting Obama's environmental wacko (i.e., Communist) agenda. These people are consistently trying to destroy our country.
