lol i've talked to like 10 different people who were totally okay with the gas tax
One was a literal communist at the public interest firm i volunteered at
Its the most regressive tax imagineable
but the others were regular people who were like "BUT THE ROADS NEED FIXING"
No what about Alan Dershowitz... darn thats right he's a liberal
Seriously
It harms the poorest in society
Ask them if they would accept hiring contractors to fix the roads
Im like "Dude, they keep taxing us saying it's for the roads, do you think that maybe that money isn't being spent right while our roads are still D grade?"
And its so easy to point it out
wHo WiIL BUilD dA RoADS?
@Black Mage that's when you bring up the last time they passed a tax for infrastructure and how it didn't fix jack shit
I did
BUT MUH ROADS?
I mentioned the rail line that was a money sink
Like, you know how in California, there's a rail line that was supposed to be done by now? Hyped up by all the Democrats and whatever? Yeah, that's a money black hole
You spoke to ten people while working for a public interest firm. That is probably gonna be skewed.
And yes, "BUT MUH ROADS"
everyone should pay a privatized tax to the leader of their residential street and everything would be good.

@Black Mage the guy who advocated for the rail line now is advocating against it because of how corrupt it is
they were like "haha you're gonna need to prove that they're stealing the money crazy guy"
y link die
Im like dude the fucking roads are shit and they keep taxing us OVER AND OVER
Pointing out that shit like that, actually so obviously hurts the people its supposed to help, opens anyone willing to ask questions about anything, to start doing so.
Walked into my friend listening to Sargoy. Baby steps but hes started down the path
The roads are shit and they pay taxes for it now?
This is why we need to box california in and let them wallow in their misery
And the Fed pays them
jerry Brown also PROMISED he wouldn't tax us unilaterally, because we ALREADY had a gas tax in California. He taxed us unilaterally, and people are still going "Welp, but the roads!"
cail's roads are ranked like 49th/50 states
Jerry Brown straight up fucking lied and no one gives a shit
no one cares
@Black Mage Did you ask them, "So why the fuck are the roads still shit then?"
"BUT MUH ROADS! TAX ME DADDY!"
and they dont get as shitty weather as most of the other states
Because the govt needs more money, obviously!
gale, literally, that's the response
and im not talking about the literal communist
