Looking towards an Obama presidency I think gasoline should be sold using stamps or tokens, sort of like food stamps. They would be made available to everyone. The rich and prosperious would have to pay the highest rate and the unemployed and uninspired would get them for free. Spreading the wealth a little to help the less fortunate. Companies dependent on gasoline/diesel to conduct business would be charged accordingly. The corporations and successful business owners pay the most and the struggling small operator would get their fuel free or almost free. This would also give the portion of the population that didn't drive an opportunity to make extra income, they could sell their gas stamps to the rich.

Sounds crazy but we are going in that direction.

I worked in socialistic societies for several years and if you were a receiver you had little complaint but if you were one of the providers you had a much different opinion.

Should that fine Irish lad O'Bama win we should expect the worst and hope for the best.
