Ok, we would get a three month tax free period. Then what? We're back to paying prices even higher then before. Then what they raised taxes on to compensate will stay higher just because now that they did it it's easier to leave it higher and make the extra money. People that can afford it wont really notice, and the people that are getting the brunt of the high price effect wont have the means of actually doing anything about it except complain.

There is way too much money going to oil providers. There is no reason for them to be making more money then you could spend in a lifetime.

So instead of a short term relief only to be followed by financial hardship because of the end of the relief. How about we just figure something out that will be a much more long term solution.

It is impossible to just say, "hey, start making hybrids and cars that only run on electricity". Car companies do not have good enough technology yet for that. They are making their way, but it will take time. Also, you need oil to produce the energy to charge the vehicles. Yeah, not as much but we would still need it. How about we start by only using synthetic oils in our cars, that would cut down tremendously on the use of crude oil.

It's all about finding a solution, not a gimmick.
