Title: Public Still Favors Transportation Fees over Tax Increases
Topic: Tax Shifting
Discussed by Marc Scribner
with Competitive Enterprise Institute www.cei.org
Part 1 of 2
Many states have a flat rate charged every time you pump gas. This “tax” is
divided between the federal government and the state government. In Texas, the
rate for this gas tax hasn’t been raised in decades, which can either be good or
bad, depending on your point of view.
So, how is the federal government spending those tax dollars? The money is
supposed to be used to build new roads and repair existing roads, but that is
rarely the case.
Marc Scribner has been researching and studying highway development with the
Competitive Enterprise Institute since 2008. His duties include transportation,
land use, and telecommunications policy issues. He discusses how those dollars
are dispersed in this first segment.

and the Associated Press reveals that most voters are not too keen on raising
the gas tax, but would be in favor of more toll roads.

Title: How Much Less is Your Paycheck?
Topic: Tax Shifting
Discussed by Pete Sepp
with National Taxpayers Union (www.ntu.org)
Part 1 of 2
When Obama pointed
his boney finger at the camera and said that only the rich would get higher
taxes, was he just mistaken or did he outright lie?
Pete Sepp, with the National Taxpayers Union, believes that Obama and his goons
knew all along what they were doing and what was going to happen to the middle
class, yet they chose to ignore it. And the raise in taxes on your paycheck is
just the beginning. Just wait until Obamacare is in full swing…

Title: What Is Really Affected by the Sequester?
Topic: Tax Shifting
Discussed by Pete Sepp
with National Taxpayers Union (www.ntu.org)
Part 2 of 2
How badly will the
military be affected by the Sequester? Did the White House really need to stop
giving tours to save money?
Pete Sepp and his wife were able to readjust spending and make a new budget when
they were hit with higher taxes this year. And they’ll do it again next year,
like they’ve done every year. Millions of families and businesses have done the
same.
So why can’t the government? What makes their “stuff” so much more important
that they can’t cut a few corners and do away with a few things?

Title: If Your Friends Jumped off the Fiscal Cliff, Would You?
Topic: Tax Shifting
Discussed by Judson Phillips
with Judson Phillips (www.teapartynation.com)
Part 1 of 2
The age-old question our parents used - or tried to use - to get us to not do something, which never - or rarely - worked. Too bad we can’t scare our elected officials with it.
Current House Speaker John Boehner is definitely not a fighter. He gives in to Obama at every turn of the wheel. Or does the “crusty, stiff shirt, old-white-male, in-love with big business and the establishment crowd” man know exactly what he is doing? Judson Phillips believes Americans will soon face massive tax increases. But what is the solution? Do the House Republicans stand back and do nothing? Should they fight? Should we come up with a new plan?
