Saying we can "live with $4/gallon gas" is not very encouraging at all. Rapidly escalating gas prices were the straw that broke the camel's back in 2008.

That's the dumbest thing i've read in a while and i've been reading Kamaki's posts.

We choose to pay 75% tax on gasoline ???

Yes. That is exactly what I said. IF YOU ARE EUROPEAN, THEN YOU CHOOSETO PAY HIGHER TAXES. You elect politicians who raise the taxes. You allow 3rd world transients to enter your countries and spend decades on your all inclusive welfare systems. YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS. Universal healthcare and pensions don't pay for themselves. Most europeans take advantage of these things so I assume they are desired. So once again, you choose to pay.
