It's always easiest to jump on the intangible "they", whether Big Business, Big Government, Big Whatever. Most of us would agree that fuels are overtaxed, because the governments everywhere see a clear way for renewable income. Here in Texas, the legislature decided to bring up a fuel tax increase (ready for their reason?) because they haven't increased those taxes in six years. 
hock: Now that's a good reason.
But before we get too angry here, I'd like to propose a lull in the postings, so people can calm down. There are as many articles on the one side mentioned as the other, it seems, as I've spent the last couple of hours looking things over. Would that be too much? It's an interesting topic, if we can keep from poking fingers in each others' eyes, you know?
Here's something to google and marvel about. Sovereign Wealth Funds and Bank of International Settlements. Interesting reading. The interconnectedness is quite amazing, and seems unlikely to be coincidental.
Peace flag for now?
