Taxing gasoline at the state level has been the big secret for years now …

Our Governor just screwed up instead of asking our state legislators to sneak an increase into our states 25 cent a gallon tax he went for the big increase on vehicle registration. He wants a new flat rate vehicle registration fee of $150.00 (a significant increase). Instead of reducing social programs and more responsible spending by the Idaho Department of Transportation we are going to soak the taxpayers again. Needless to say the good folks of Idaho (a slave wage state thanks to illegal invaders) are sharpening their pitchforks and gathering their torches. It was announced yesterday in the news and the state legislators are getting an earful.

Most can probably remember that not that many years ago every gasoline pump in the country had a sign on it telling you how much of the price of each gallon of gasoline was tax …

That sign is no longer there because that became the dirty little secret in the state legislatures … add a couple of cents per gallon and sneak it into another bill and no one knows any different since the signs no longer tell you how much tax is on each gallon …

Check the last few years … add the federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon to get the total for each state …

2005

2006

The 2007 numbers will be out soon … but I am sure many do not know how much these taxes are …

The other areas of secret tax increase are cigarettes, liquor, wine, and beer taxes … some of which are collected at the wholesale level then passed on in the retail prices …

liberal marxist democraps

Repetitive and redundant.

Ayn Rand had it right in ‘Atlas Shrugged’, just 50 years to early.

To think that we worried about communists in the 50’s when the real problem is the liberal marxist democraps in 08.

This is like a never-ending carousel ride of fantasy. I have one question for the Dems: where’s the money? Where are we getting the money from? Huh?

By eliminating tax cuts for the RICH! You know, those hard working entrepreneurs who have spent 15+ years building up businesses and now, in order to be “fair” to everyone else, must be taxed higher, so everyone can “share”.

Seven years of bad luck, boo hoo Harry you crapweasel.

AJ, Harry “Land Swindle” Reed is the very definition of crapweasel. My only disagreement with you is that I would just remove the weasel from the word. This scumbag has been in office too long. The only reason he’s still in office is that Las Vegas likes their pork and their entrenched politicians. The rest of Nevada disgrees on that score.

Really, you do the weasel a disservice by associating Reed in any way with it. They’re quite intelligent creatures unlike the dopey senator. Now the crap part is definitly more apt.

“So we are going to do what we think is best for the country,” Reid said.

What’s that called, kids? That’s right, socialism.
