>>Come on, that "measure" only means that the taxes did not rise as much as the oil price. Kinda telling a girl raped three times this year and twice last year that she is better off than the one raped twice this year and once last year, as the percentage of the rise was less...

>Really? we are already used to high gas prices. We have adjusted out living to it. The rise of gas prices aren't doing us as much as in the US. First of all, because the US was used to very low gas prices, but now the big cars are getting dumped because driving a V6 200hp truck is getting too expensive to many american. Many of us are taking the train or bus or are getting reimbursed from our employers. We can declare 27 cents per kilometer to deduct from our income tax. Really those sky high gas prices does not hurt as much as the it does to the average america: Our society already has found its way to deal with those.

Really. It only means that the adjustment is greater. Your arguement followed to abstruse length would mean I have to thank the robber for eliminating my task of spending my own money and making me live frugal.
