Enjoy The New Gasoline Taxes California!!! (drug, healthcare, stats, marijuana)

Consider driving less when you're in California.

I already live in a moonbat state. I have no desire to visit another moonbat state.

Let's say they use the money to actually repair the roads. Won't poor folks suffer less costly repairs due to damage from crappy roads?

In 2013, it was estimated that bad roads cost the average California motorist $586 a year.

So instead of trying to lessen the hardship the state keeps raising the gas tax. If anything they should be lowering the tax.

With all the overpopulation and traffic it would stand to reason that they are already raising more money from just all the extra cars on the road.

Oh pucker up, buttercup. You're crying about $3 per gallon or so, when in the UK, they pay $7 per gallon and people survive just fine. It's just Americans LOVE to overextend themselves needlessly, and shoot themselves in the foot with their NIMBYism

But California upsets you, even though you don't live or visit there.

How would that even be calculated besides it being ridiculous. That is the equivalent of new tires every year and NO ONE I know does that.

This is what caused Shay's Rebellion.

Flat tire here....broken shock there. It all adds up.

Christ, you'd think California was forcing motorists to give up a kidney for donation or something.

The freeways are ridiculously overloaded, so anything that encourages shorter commutes, carpooling or - gasp! horror! - public transportation is a worthwhile endeavor. LA Metro is getting its stuff together, bicycle routes are popping up, it's enjoyable to watch. (In some cases, literally. California girls on bicycles...)
