They already pay the same tax that the wealthy pay on those things. If you raise that tax, only the poor will feel the change. Another 50 cents a gallon in gas won't hurt someone in Florida who has $250,000/year in income. But it could force someone who only earns $20,000 a year to choose whether to buy fresh fruits and veggies and healthy proteins, or settle for the dollar menu at the fast food joint again, pushing themselves deeper into poor health just so they don't spend their day with an empty stomach.

If YOU?
Hey! there few thing I don’t like but taxes on anything is one of them. The federal government makes more on gallon of gas than producers. Federal, state, and local governments are solely responsible for high taxes or taxes. The problems are they won’t manage other people’s money and just pluck more from money tree of its citizens after all the money tree never ending source.
If want blame someone put blame where it belongs.
