Jerry Brown's Sneaky Gas Tax
It never ceases to amaze me that Jerry Brown -- who claims to be a social justice warrior and a champion of the people -- sneaks in taxes that have a far greater impact on lower income people than his Silicon Valley elite campaign contributors. The latest is his gas tax that he managed to push through despite the fact that it was extremely unpopular. Most Californians do not mind paying for things that we need, but we already pay the highest gas tax in the nation and our infrastructure is in a REALLY sad state of repairs.
