I can at least partially understand levying an abuse tax on truly "optional" abuse-items like tobacco or alcohol, but why charge it on gasoline? That's a necessary commodity to merely get around, and besides, it's not as if we aren't TRYING to use other fuels and/or forms of motive-power --- many people are trying to promote "green" forms of transportation like bicycles, electric vehicles, ethanol, etc., but the powers-that-be are actively squelching the development of such technology. Why, even GM itself crushed its own EV1 electric cars that people ALREADY WERE USING AND LOVED... what kinda convoluted nonsense does THAT make??!?!

It's when a Puerto Rican girl gives you anal so you'll marry her in order to give her U.S. citizenship.
Bob: I just got a Puerto Rican tax return from this hot piece of ass last night.
Joe: Damn! It's so hot when girls come here illegally.

Tax haven is a country in which big companies like Facobook or Microsoft or any other business giant deposite their profit for tiny prices to avoid taxes, whereas you work your ass off to revive the economy.
