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.
The irony for the left is that gasoline taxes are very regressive, particularly hitting the middle class much harder (as a percentage of their income) than the wealthy.
Of course the left hates the middle class, but the gasoline tax has no significant impact on the wealthy.
