Teflon Don
I'm back baby
That is what I keep hearing when it comes to tariffs.
"They are regressive"
"They hit the poor (and blacks, women and transgenders) the hardest"
So if the democrat party hates regressive taxes so much then why do so many democrat states impose regressive taxes?
Below are the top 10 highest per gallon gasoline taxes by state. Not surprisingly, the usual cast of characters bubble up to the top. Of the top ten, eight of them either are run completely by democrats (some with super majorities) or have a democrat at the highest office. Two of the states are run completely by Republicans
California – $0.698 – Democrats control everything
Illinois – $0.671 – Democrats control everything
Pennsylvania – $0.587 - Democrat governor
Indiana – $0.561 – Republicans control everything
Michigan – $0.468 – Democrats control everything
Maryland – $0.461 – Democrats control everything
New Jersey – $0.449 – Democrats control everything
North Carolina – $0.404 – Democrat governor
Washington – $0.389 – Democrats control everything
Florida – $0.394 – Republicans control everything
Think about this. After factoring in expenses (transportation, utilities, maintenance), the net profit per gallon for a convenience store owner may be only $0.01 to $0.03 cents. And here you have the state of Commiefornia "profiting" by almost $.70/gallon when they do absolutely nothing with regards to getting gasoline in someone's tank. And not surprisingly, Commiefornia has the highest cost per gallon of gasoline of any other state which means over and above the taxation they are imposting other costs.
Now why would these democrat run states be imposing such high regressive taxes on their people?
Any JPP Marxist care to wander into the waters? I really hope one of them tries to gaslight us and tell us that gasoline taxes aren't really regressive.
