stuckincincy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 This is only the start .http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090102/ap_on_go_ot/gas_tax_11 Yup. Here in OH, the idiot voters passed a minimum wage statewide thing with a yearly escalator clause. When it rose - above that of the federal increased rate - employment dropped, businesses closed. Restaurant prices rose. The grocery store I usually patronize has already raised prices - I pay attention. Result - less commerce, less tax grab by the various governments (no wage or benefit reduction for government employees though). So our governor speaks of increased taxes - including their favorite punching bag, a smoker (4th largest source of State income, all the while descrying the health effects and spewing those phony cost-to-society estimates. If that was actually true, he should ban the sale of that legal product in the state of Ohio).
Chef Jim Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 They want to increase the gas tax here in CA as well. We'll be back up to $4 gas in no time.
John Adams Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 They want to increase the gas tax here in CA as well. We'll be back up to $4 gas in no time. That's because this Summer proved that we can live with it.
Boomer860 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 That's because this Summer proved that we can live with it. Not true. Part of the reason that people are losing thier houses are partially a result of high gas prices , not to mention thier border line mortages. People like yourself that are on welfare need not worry as you are receiving money from the real workers.
Chef Jim Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 That's because this Summer proved that we can live with it. Just because I could probably live with a steel rod planted firmly up my ass means I want to.
DC Tom Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Just because I could probably live with a steel rod planted firmly up my ass means I want to. Well...no. But if you lived with a steel rod planted firmly up your ass, the government would probably find a way to tax it "for your own good".
Boomer860 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 Just because I could probably live with a steel rod planted firmly up my ass means I want to. Was the steel made in America or imported from China ? It will make a difference for tax purposes.
/dev/null Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 A roughly 50 percent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes is being urged by the commission until the government devises another way for motorists to pay for using public roads. I love how they make it sound like a temporary increase.
stinky finger Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Just because I could probably live with a steel rod planted firmly up my ass means I want to. A tube of Proposition 8 should clear up that steel rod thingy.

/dev/null Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 The price of gas at the nearest gas station I drove by was 1.49 9/10 You're link posted the following statement The 15-member National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing is the second group in a year to call for increasing the current 18.4 cents a gallon federal tax on gasoline This following link: http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/fuel_tax.asp states this: The Virginia tax is 17.5 cents per gallon for gasoline and diesel. 17.5 + 18.4 = 35.9 cents/ gallon = $.359/gallon .359 / 1.499 = 23.9% taxes Yeah, Exxon Moble needs to be penalized for high gas prices
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Was the steel made in America or imported from China ? It will make a difference for tax purposes. No Mexico. I think they erected a monument in Monterrey to honor that steel rod.
/dev/null Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 No Mexico. I think they erected a monument in Monterrey to honor that steel rod. Heheheheheheheheh, you said "erected" and "rod" in the same sentence
