But one other point here...it's not my policy and I'm not really too interested in defending it as being amazing. I don't have to explain this for them. Personally, I'm on the 100% consumption tax and zero income tax train, which this is the exact opposite.

I agree completely with your position of income (booo) & consumption (yaaay) taxes...
Which is why it's probably strange that I can somewhat agree with the reduction of the gas tax from the perspective of: If people want (/need!) the government to do something about inflation and cost of living, about the simplest thing they can do is cancel a tax. It's a real-time lever they can pull.
