Plenty More Taxes
St. Paul. Sick and tired of spending $68 to fill up your GEO Metro? Or taking out a second mortgage to fill up your SUV?
Well, too bad, says Guv Nah Plenty in a new tax hike he's presenting. The current .20 cents a gallon tax will be raising it's ugly head this summer as he's submitted more taxes including higher taxes on cigarettes.
The gas tax hike comes in support of President Gee Dubya's plan to open oil refineries in the Alaskan Wildlife refuge. "President Dubya needs money to build them, they don't go up themselves."
Minnesotans everywhere will be looking at other modes of transportation for the summer. Or just cancelling summer vacations. Figure on paying more for products and produce, as transportation costs will escalate. Bus fare will rise, and if Minnesotans try riding their bikes to their destinations, there will be a tax on using bike trails and road shoulders.
If anyone sends me another meal about "...well milk is $2 something a gallon...." because guess what? So is gas!!! And if those people can power their little vehicles with milk than "kudos" otherwise, shut the (swear word) up!
