No, the rest of the world just pays a heck of a lot more tax than we do. That doesn't affect you like an increase in the actual price of the fuel would - the money goes into the public coffers to cover government expenditures. So by paying more for gas tax, you pay less for other taxes (or you pay the same or more for other taxes - what can we say, we're not socialists here)

Other places in the world may pay higher gas prices due to heavier taxes on gas, but they don't have the same yearly taxes or sales taxes on all goods and services.

it doesn't matter, they are socialists and like it that way. the united states isn't a socialist nation. we don't need to pay 50% of our money on taxes

G. W. Bush... Im out to get you!!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
He already did, crusty.
It was the last great bastion that eluded him in his first 4 years.
He's now delivered economy-shattering tax breaks, billions in war contracts and 3 dollar gasoline to his big business suck buddies.
The looting of this country is nearly complete, and you voted for the cawksucker.
(or you would have if you were old enough to vote)
