Actually, what Falcon said is being misinterpreted. One must go beneath the surface of cumbersome words to see his truth. He said that in exchange for lowering taxes, the oil companies would lower the price. So this is a quid pro quo. The actual agreement that would be codified is that if a tax break of x% were given, a gas price reduction of y% would be required. Simply brilliant.
I think I should leave Phoenix for a while and visit North Carolina. It truly is a Mecca for knowledge...
