http://www.abc2news.com/dpp/news/state/the-governor-wants-to-increase-the-state%27s-gas-taxAt about 58 seconds into the video is the money quote. Yes, you guessed right. O'Malley going to save or create jobs the liberal way by hiking the gas tax a nickle every year for the next three years until the tally runs up to an extra fifteen cents per gallon of gas. Only in the twisted minds of liberals can this do what it's intended to do.
The poorer folks in Mary-land aren't going to be very merry these next three years as they have to pay extra to the General fund to subsidize O'Malley's green agenda. Democrats always say it's for transportation projects, however, they raid the fund every fiscal year as the need to do because of the fiscal mess they create. The Governor recently won reelection in 2010 after running roughshod over the former Gov, Ehrlich, after preaching how successful he was at saving and creating jobs in Mary-land mostly thanks to the 860 billion pay off by the Fed Govt one year earlier.
Those p-o-o-r people of Mary-land will be beaten up once more by a government that really cares less what they think because hey, it's essentially a one party state with the GOP a disappointing joke. With all the hype from liberals about regressive taxes, one would think they recognize what a regressive hit on the poor would look like but guess again, this ones coming right for the wallets of those that can least afford it once more.
Why am I posting this nonsense, well, I live in south central PA but my business, service oriented, is in Baltimore and so I'll be paying more at the pump and keeping wages stagnet for yet another year. If I can get away with it, I'll raise my call price to make up for it which means it's coming down the pike at my customers who'll once again be shafted by another increase in the cost of living in a Utopian republic south of the Mason-Dixon line.
Damn these idiot voters are so f**king stupid.
