Are you ready for a 12 cent gas tax? If progressives in the Senate get their way, this is what you’ll be paying on your already inflated gas prices to fill your tanks. One would tend to think that this would simply be a Democrat plan, but it’s not. Progressive RINO Bob Corker is a co-sponsor of this legislation

. Two senators unveiled a bipartisan plan Wednesday to raise federal gasoline and diesel taxes for the first time in more than two decades, pitching the proposal as a solution to Congress’ struggle to pay for highway and transit programs.
The plan offered by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., would raise the 18.4-cents-a-gallon federal gas tax and 24.4-cents-a- gallon diesel tax each by 12 cents over the next two years, and then index the taxes to keep pace with inflation. The increase would be applied in two increments of 6 cents each.
