a gas tax increase of 9.3 cents per gallon due to "lower fuel consumption trends

So, raising the price of something will increase consumption?

I thought the first rule if you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.

The left only raises taxes.

Use more of something, the left raise taxes so you will use less.

Then when you do use less of something, the left raises taxes because of tax “shortfalls”.

When you use about the same, the left raises taxes because of repairs and maintenance to existing structures and for future growth.

It doesnt matter what you do, they always have an excuse to raise your taxes. Its their only solution apart from downright white racism govt approved discrimnation against you.

They realize that taxing something decreases use yet further don’t they?

In a saner world, that tax increase would guarantee NJ for Trump in November...

Unfortunately, this world has been overrun by government trained, indoctrinated, and educated communist revolutionaries who support such theft...

However, we should not be too strident about this state of affairs because it would disturb the sheeple while they blissfully graze and keep their heads down...

Shhhhh!

We won’t let you go to work but we still need the same amount of taxes from you.

New Jersey, the toll state, is using gas taxes as a band aid for their hemorrhaging economy. While tolls in particular apply only to those who use the road or benefit from goods and services delivered along it, the gas tax is nothing more than a money grab.

When you have less and less viable industries, and even your casinos are a failure, your next step is to tax a captive audience's gasoline. One more incentive for employers and employees to telecommute.

Among the numerous blue states that need to be kicked out of the US, New Jersey is very near the top of the list.

Yet they want to do away with gasoline altogether.

What’s going to happen when AOC makes everyone drive electric cars? The gasoline tax will generate nothing.

1) This is a tacit admission that the funds were being used for things unrelated to road travel or the need would have declined too.

2) When the usage goes back up, expect them to rescind this increase. Not.

They kicked everyone down so that they couldn’t go to work. What is it about the diseased mind of leftists that the unlearn cause and effect?

Reminds me of when a city (it might have been Charlotte) mandated reduced water consumption and then raised the water rates because of the lower water consumption.
