Uh huh... sure. And billions for road/highway expansion and maintenance for all those trucks tearing up the roads, going from port to freight forwarding facilities, are all covered by your fees, right? Sorry — the math doesn’t work, despite the graft.
What level of tariffs do you propose in order to keep those infernal trucks from tearing up our roads?
Yes, those same roads you also drive on, and never mind the trucking fees, the permit fees, the fuel taxes that are supposed to cover costs of operation of trucking.
And I guess the damage to your highways from trucks going to and from domestic farms and factories is to be ignored?
Again, this is a case of Government mismanaging their funds. California clears over $4 BILLION in just fuel taxes alone; that is supposed to be used for road maintenance. Instead, your state Government chooses to spend that money elsewhere.
When the state decides to retrofit a perfectly good and working school, do you get mad at your neighbor for not paying enough property tax? When the state runs a big deficit providing services to illegal immigrants, do you attack the immigrants who benefit, or the state for giving YOUR MONEY away?
