I think NYS still wins with the highest combo of state and fed taxes on gas.
Here’s an opportunity for all those rich liberals in Hollywood and Silicon Valley to put their money where their mouths are.
Never happen, though.
Taxes are for the little people who work every day to eedk out a middle-class living.
The Commiefornians have destroyed themselves. It needs to be quarantined to protect the remaining states.
lol
I am sure all those rich liberals will be lining up to pay this “voluntary” tax! (since they always complain the rich dont pay enough)
oh wait!
THEY don't want to pay more! they just want to take the money from OTHER rich people!
Limousine liberals expect their chauffeurs will pay the tax.
Yeah, my state asks you to voluntarily pay all your sales taxes on internet purchases. They even give you the option to estimate based on your income.
My entry in the little box? $0.
We’re rapidly getting to the point where the State wrings every last drop of our essence out until we are enslaved or we revolt.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”
“I really want to pay more taxes”
Said no one ever.
“Voluntary” = We hope this will shut all of you up while we put the infrastructure in place. Then next year there will be a financial crisis and we will “temporarily” make the per-mile tax mandatory.
Forever.
Hey... here’s an idea California... put some collection boxes on the outbound lanes of the highways near the state border.
That way, people can pay your silly mileage tax on their way out of the state.
You could stand to make a real killing!
I’d voluntarily not pay any taxes.
This stupid scheme is about getting it on the books so, years later, they can simply proclaim the law was already passed and “the time seems appropriate, in light of the states needs, children’s imperatives and as an expression that recognizes our glowBull responsibility to mitigate the harmful effects of O2 and our role in poisoning mother earth”

Meanwhile, the parasites and illegals get a free pass. I wonder who is going to fire the first shot it the upcoming CW2. It’s going to be ugly, but a lot of people are growing tired of our over the top, non law abiding govt.
I expect they will consider a dollar a pack tax on chewing gum to offset the loss of revenue due to people quitting smoking.
I frankly hope they try this. This might be the straw that breaks the Carmel’s back. This will be great because the idiot who keep respecting these clowns will have to actually write a check every year to the government and they may begin to realize that these liberals are robbing them blind.
Right now they are paying about 75 cents a gallon in taxes but they don’t know it because it is just added to the price of a gallon and these idiots all blame the evil greedy oil companies who are only making about 5 cents per gallon.
If they start paying the taxes directly instead of indirectly then they are going to be both educated and pissed.
Bring it on!!
This could be the beginning of the end of the democrats in California.
900 out of 3 million tax payers chose the higher rate. No politician, of the tax returns disclosed, paid the higher rate including John Kerry and Chief Spreading Bull Granny Warren.
It becomes obvious to me and should to every one else that the enviro movement’s purpose is to herd us all into a cities. I would guess we would be easier to control there. This is turning into a really depressing sci-fi movie.
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
Gee will Al Gore and all the Hollywood beautiful people sign up to pay the tax or are such taxes only for the little people?
