So, let me see...many Kaliforniaanns are green-conscious, earth-conscious and environment-conscious, and so consume less gasoline which is killing the planet. And their reward from their eminently fair-minded government is to raise the taxes to make up for the revenue shortfall? I wonder what would happen if everyone in the state boycotted their own gas-driven vehicles for a week? Would the state, then, raise the fares on public transportation and also raise the sales tax to make up for the loss of revenue?

Hey, we have 3 million illegal aliens to support, plus 3 times the national state per capita average number of welfare recipients. You don't really expect these folks to actually support themselves, do you? :eek: :rolleyes: By raising gasoline taxes, the greenie eco-freaks make sure that these folks are kept safe and sound, as well as well fed and sheltered. :rolleyes: Lowest gas price in Orange County,Ca today for regular, $4.09.9, in Bullhead City, Az, $3.64.9.

They are already considering a flat 150 dollar fee to be added on to any license tags that go on an electric car. To make up for the loss in gas taxes

Sounds fair to me.
