So do you think the massive corporations that pay zero in taxes, or get subsidies from the government, that they really pass the savings on to you the consumer? Or rather do they pad CEO wealth with it, offshore it, or do stock buybacks with it...

Speaking specifically about fuel taxes, we have some choice regarding how far we commute and how fuel-efficiently we do it, so whether the tax is at the pump or on corporate profits, we have some control on how much we pay. So again I'll say that someone who spends every last dime of his post-tax income on fuel is doing something BAD wrong....
