Friend,
Big Oil is raking in record profits as Americans are paying high prices at the gas pump. But that doesn’t mean suspending the federal gas tax is the right solution.
The 18-cents-per-gallon gas tax is not to blame for high gas prices, and passing a tax “holiday” merely feeds into the dishonest rhetoric of the far right by ignoring the corporate greed and environmental destruction of the fossil fuel industry.
Fossil fuel companies are making record profits, accelerating the climate crisis, and sticking Americans with the bill. Pausing the gas tax will only save Americans between $4.79 and $14.31 over the course of three months.
Instead of proposing feel-good measures that would cost billions in infrastructure dollars without significantly helping average Americans, we should tackle the root cause of the problem: Big Oil’s greed.
Sign here if you agree that it’s time to hold Big Oil accountable and rein in windfall profits.
Onward,
Ro
