DNC Hypocrisy on Gas Tax

Published on July 23, 2008 By Island Dog In Democrat

I thought the DNC thinks gas taxes are fine.

The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention has used the city's gas pumps to fill up and apparently avoided paying state and federal fuel taxes.

The practice, which began four months ago, may have ended hours after its disclosure. An aide to Mayor John Hickenlooper released a statement Tuesday evening saying that Denver 2008 Host Committee members would pay market prices for fuel and would also be liable for all applicable taxes.

Another "Do as I say, not as I do" bleat from the head pigs on Animal Farm.

Any other way and it wouldn't be politics.
