Should Congress Void all Tax Relief as well as Void any Fuel Tax Relief Effort as well as Airfare Subsidies?

Mephisto asked:


This Tax Reliefs are false regardless of fuel prices. We all know that. Why not instead cap wages on CEOs much like goverment caping salaries on union workers. This will greatly reduce fuel hikes, particularly during the holidays.
As for subsidies, I do not get a tax break when I fly out of a major airport, why should some get a discount for flying out of a country airport. If we do away with that subsidy, it is guaranteed that it will save us $$. Why should I subsidize a country airport when they live within 2 hours of a major airport. People can walk a mall for hours and go on drinking binges, yet cannot afford a full airfare….
Congress forced Union Workers in the 80 to return to work and banned truckers from striking enforce. It caps lawsuits on corp. by employees yet ceos have no earning limit - regardless of outcome. Subsidies keep mom and pop operations from competing with corp - taxation paying for this does not benefit all taxpayers - say, no flyers, drivers that not drive SUV - see the point - rather this individuals should be taxed.
