Wally,

I didn't say they made money ON Katrina, I said WHEN Katria
hit.  Do you recall the price of gas after Katrina made
landfall (it was going up for a few weeks just prior too)? 
If tax is calculated as a percentage of the sale, then as
the price of something increases so does the amount of tax
(even if the precentage remains the same).

I only stated that factoid because it stuck in my mind
after watching some of the Fed hearings about the profits
made during the period from that Fall into the following
Spring.  It was interesting to hear the government made
more. - Too bad the government is "Paycheck Friday Rich"!

So the argument from people that wish to replace the income
tax with sales tax is that the rich bastards will pay their
fair share at last!... Well most of the rich folk I know
can afford to live much closer to work than the not so rich
folk, So I believe they'd use less gas, and the not so rich
would pay more.
