Thanks for posting this reality.

Road repair/replace Taxes on gas do go down when we drive less. Those are fixed taxes based on per gallon useage/purchases.

The sales tax is based on the price of the gasoline not on the gallons.

So, when we have the Pelosi/Reid gasoline price increases, the California sales tax for the state and local government rake in the extra $’s each day.

“With a 6% Sales Tax + a 1.25% County Tax (or a cumulative 7.25% tax that stays within the state) on gasoline sales - California is raking in the dough with this $2/gallon spike that’s occurred since the Dems took control of Congress. In 2007 California consumed 15.7 billion gallons of gasoline, so we’re talking an added ~ $2 billion boon (7.25% x $2/gallon x 15.7 billion gallons) to Sacramento’s budget - that the Dems probably didn’t anticipate.”

However, don’t for a single second think the rats in Sacramento didn’t anticipate this incredible windfall.

Cities with less gas stations like Gay Frisco, and Oakland are probably losing money as less people drive into these left wing cities for over priced food and other goods.
