I agree!
Have you also noticed that when the price of oil goes up the petrol companies put their prices up immediately, however when the price of oil goes down they take forever to lower the price at the pump. They will argue that they have to use up stock at the expensive price but if thats the case why dont they have to use up the stock at the cheaper price first when the oil goes up?
I'm rambling again aren't I ... sorry!

The State governments are expected to do their share in alleviating the common man's problems by giving up some portion of the revenue they were generating through taxes.They cannot all the time expect the center to bail them out and also to provide funds for development.By wanting the center to bear the burden,the State governments want to score brownie points with the denizens.This what the Communist government in WB was doing all these years by blackmailing the center.The net result was that the state government encouraged the people to become lazy.And as everyone is aware,an idle mind is a devil's workshop.The people had ample time to shirk work and blackmail the government to concede every demand however unreasonable.As a consequence,the state has shown no development on any front and has remained a dead weight and great burden on the economy of the country which unfortunately has to be propped up by the poor tax-paying middle class.As for your poser about other resources,there are so many other areas where the government is able to raise moneys through both indirect and direct taxes by spreading the taxes over a wide variety of items where the individual burden may not be felt and be bearable. Have a Beautiful Day.

I think the answer to that one is to be found in the bible
Not exactly sure of the quote but I am sure someone will correct me
To him that has, Shall be given.
To him that has not. Even that shall be taken away from him.
Have's and have not's

Hasn't that always been the way

Obvious answer we shouldnt, the billions of pounds profit they make each year should mean no increase. At the moment no increase where i live, but time will tell. There are both Tesco and morrison petrol stations not to far from me, think its going to be interesting what they both do?.

Please bear in mind that over 70% of the cost of fuel goes to the government via tax.
