State gasoline tax is a different thing altogether. The average state tax for gasoline is about 28-29 cents on the gallon. So all together we pay about 48 cents of tax per gallon of gasoline purchased here in the United States of America. The average cost for a gallon of gasoline today in my home state of Texas is $3.21. (www.fuelgaugereport.com). But it should be mentioned that gas is cheap in the United States when compared to the rest of the world, because it is supported by tax dollars.
Is gas tax levied on the producers, the consumers or both? Well the consumer will always ends up with the short end of the stick on this one. We pay the taxes on the gas that we need to function effectively and comfortably in today’s gasoline ...

When there is a tax impose on goods like tobacco or cigarette as described in the two articles, there is an increase in the price of the product, this shifts the supply curve of the product to the left, in other words less quantity is available at the same prices, there is a decline in the quantity demanded and a new equilibrium between demand and supply is reached. On the other hands when price controls are imposed there is an artificial decline in the prices. At the lower prices, a higher quantity is demanded but the production is insufficient to fulfill that demand and so a shortage remain. There are stock outs. So in case of imposition of taxes as has been done in case of cigarettes, there is excess production capacity and the factors of production have to be diverted to other industries or sectors. Alternately, the production can be exported. The intended effect is that the incidence of smoking gets reduced.
The tax is levied on the consumers. ...

Clearly this has stirred up a lot of heat in the state of Michigan since this cigarette tax is one of the top five highest in the country. Being that the tax is so high, criminal activity involving theft has greatly increased in the state of Michigan. Most criminals are now stealing cigarettes, cigarette trucks, and the stamps which make the cigarettes legal to sell. According to Lafaive (2005), “turning that differential into profit has become the goal of criminal enterprises that smuggle cigarettes into Michigan and other high-tax states, selling the smokes tax-free.”
In Michigan, the tax increases have affected its residents, spec ...

Not only is supply and demand affected by federal taxation but it affects equilibrium price and quantity as well.
“In economics, value does not depend on a single factor, but depends jointly on technology, resources, or endowments; and on individuals’ preferences in a supply-and-demand framework that treats value as equilibrium market price” (Clark, n.d., p.1547, para. 2). Raising federal tax elevates the equilibrium price of goods and services and reduces the demand lowering the equilibrium demand. After considering the manner in which tax increases affect the equilibrium price and quantity it is fair to assume, “even though the tax is levied on buyers, buyers and sellers share the burden of the tax” (Mankiw, 2004, p. 125, para.1). In addition to increasing equilibrium prices, increasing federal taxes can also implement a price floor.
Price floors are an attempt by the government to maintain prices at ...
