The Rats in the CT Legislature a few years ago said they needed to raise the gas tax in order to fix the roads.Once it passed, they said, well, we're just going to put the tax in the General Fund. Thereby, being able to use it for their own crap.
I am still pissed.
NOTHING EVER goes towards what it’s earmarked for. The lotto, gas taxes, etc.
It goes towards welfare, medicaid, SNAP, graft and God only knows what else. Oh yeah, paying union pensions.
