High gas prices

Dear Editor:What do you think of the increase in gasoline prices? That was no surprise. 1.) Increase taxes on gas prices. 2.) Fewer people driving, more people using buses. 3.) Less gas sold, less revenue from gas. There is no end in sight. When the word "tax" gets worn out, then you will see a "fee" or "surcharge" added. Oh, yes, there is a refinery problem. Let's not forget that. The only real problem is that we need new federal and state political leaders. The only good politician we had was....no, he wasn't that good either. Do you have an answer?
