Wow got banned for saying a 200% tax on gasoline is another example of a government looking to tax the population into poverty and dependence.

The entire web is 1984 now. Crazy couple years

We banned your account for breaking HN's rules, as I explained to you when I banned it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29127479.

It has nothing to do with your particular statement about gasoline taxes or anything else. You could have made exactly the opposite statement and it would have had the same effect. The deeper issue is that HN is not a site for people who want to defeat their political enemies; it's a site for people who want to have curious conversation and learn from each other. I don't think that's too hard to understand.
