Only people who buy gas pay essentially pay a gas tax. Many people do not drive or own cars. It really is a hidden tax because all forms of petrol are taxed, albeit at different rates, and on top of that states tax it again, on top of the Federal Excise Tax. It is a perfect example of how screwed up our system is because it does not go to support the production or purchase of oil, it goes into the general system. Sure everyone pays to Medicare and SS. I admitted that early on. That is not the portion of Federal Tax that I have been discussing.
