I will not allow, any manipulation of fuel prices, nor anything else to change my opinion of President Dementia or any of his followers.

Why would anyone think that oil companies - that many have said they want to put out of business - will spend extra money to increase production? Especially when the administration says it will then buy oil (that was produced at an increased cost) at a lower rate to refill the reserves?

Any business that is not in business to make money will not succeed. Oil companies are making huge profits because the current administration is hampering the oil supply. Then Biden and his followers are blaming others for their own failures. Vote Conservative if you want this to change.

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
