Falling energy prices

As many of us are aware oil prices have been plummeting since late October early November. I recently read an article on Yahoo Finance stating that falling energy prices could lead to higher gas taxes. This is not a post on financial freedom this is a rant. Almost every American that owns a vehicle remembers the gas prices during the summer. I believe the most I paid was $4.25 a gallon. The government knowing full well that the gas prices led to this recession have the nerve to raise the taxes, which in essence will raise the gasoline price again? I believe the taxes are ludicrous and if implemented many people will be feeling even more hardships than they are feeling now. I find it very hard to believe that raising fuel taxes is a good idea; Americans are suffering with the high cost of living without the proper raises in income. This is just my opinion though take it however you want.
