Question

So the plan all along was to give us a tax "gift" so we could pass it on to to the gas companys?

Answer 1

its called carrot and stick trick...

Answer 2

It sure seems that way. Just today the price of regular went from $3.589 to $3.789.

I spent $35.50 for about 9 gallons of gas.

Answer 3

Consider it a gift from the oilman to the oilman. :)

Answer 4

Don't do it.....their profits are up.  Pay off a credit card or something (one that you haven't charged gas on).  Gas companies profits are way up.

Answer 5

I think it was to get those who normally don't file (tax evaders) to file so the IRS would know where they're at. I know of several idiots who filed this year just for the stimulus check & they haven't filed for 5 years. That's an immediate red flag for the IRS. Just think of all the back taxes they'll get back plus the stimulus check.

Answer 6

...told you all along...there was a catch to it!  No body gives you something for nothing!
