oh the last tax was to fix everything, this one will likely get looted to buy more trailers for the homeless, or maybe provide toupees for illegals

How about everyone gets to pay taxes according to how the register/vote?

The .gov’s profit on a gallon of gas has been larger than the oil company’s profit for some time

Such a joke, it just keeps coming in California the BS needs to stop

The only way to stop it is to vote it out. And CA has enough voters reliant on the Govt with no skin in the game and nothing to lose, that isn't likely to happen.

Unfortunately, the "joke" is on those dwindling numbers of people who are productive members of society, trying to do what's right and get ahead. The balance has shifted for the once great state of California, I'm afraid.

I don't know why you Californians are complaining, you have that fancy high speed train you can ride.
Or not...

 

[bobbytheboozer]

Geez, I can't wait to get out of this shit state. I have an empty tank in my truck and need to fill up tomorrow morning

 

[LC925]

I just filled up half way to get me to Havasu tomorrow Wish I can take a high capacity tank or something with me.

I make every effort to avoid visiting or spending money in California.

The opportunity to vote them out is basically over as the DemocratIc Communist Party has a super-majority in Sacramento meaning there’s no chance non-Democrat’s can keep their majority in check.

The “good news” is the politicians will use your tax dollars to pay for 24/7 private armed guards while they continue to destroy law enforcement

 

[CLdrinker]

This state is lost.

 

[rrrr]

I've said this before...

The gas tax hits the people the CA Democrats claim to care about the hardest. Service sector wages are low, and because of idiotic housing restrictions that have made real estate prices nuts, those people working in the city must commute. A hundred miles or more of driving every day is common.

The gas tax increasingly takes a larger percentage of income that's already inadequate from those workers. No one in state government stands up for them. It's just another example of the hypocrisy of the left.

Kinda makes you wonder if the Forefathers of the Country knew something about " only land owners get to vote " don't it!!!
