The "Chamber of Compromise" often supports corporate welfare and business interests over the principles of true free market competition and limited government.

In this letter, the national Chamber wants to raise the gas tax on all of us.

As always, there is plenty of waste, fraud, and abuse in government that could be cut and spending prioritized before the government would need to reach in to our pockets again.
