“Global events like wars raise the price of oil, but taxes make it cost even more. Cutting taxes helps buyers, and that is always a good thing.”
“Madam Speaker, it is true that global pressures, wars and so on are having an impact on the price of oil. However, prices are set on a certain base amount, and taxes are then added on top. The relief we can give to consumers by reducing taxes is always a good thing.”
