"But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." ~ Declaration of Independence
Government Greed Gooses Gas Prices
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2013-03-03 02:00
"We recently noted that gasoline prices are up 75 cents since December and motorists in southern California are now paying as much as $6 a gallon. But Golden State motorists will soon be paying even more, “no matter what market forces do,” as one report puts it, because California’s State Board of Equalization just jacked up the excise tax by nearly 9 percent, 3.5 cents, to 39.5 cents a gallon. The increase kicks in on July 1, when more families go on vacation, if they can afford it."
