>> corporations making more than $250K pay $75. Yes, I agree. We need to discourage business from locating in the US and try to push as many as possible out of this place. The last thing we need is enough jobs.

How you gonna prove you're not a millionaire when you go to the pump? You liberals are great at thinking up stupid things that would never work in the real world. I say make Californians pay a $15 per gallon gas tax.

>>People and businesses making < $17K pay 10 cents/gal, and people and corporations making more than $250K pay $75. Need to create some brackets in between.<< Thanks to the wonderful world of computers and big data, this is probably possible NOW. If not now, certainly in the near future. I really like the idea! Of course, one of the downsides will be wealthy people filling up with the help's credit cards.

Message 30091654 I see bentway okayed your idea of massively lowering CA's gas tax ... I'll bet Weiner boy, Shep, and tejek like it too. They actually think doctors (like pubo allegedly) would pay $75 a gallon i/o buying gas second hand from lower income folks. Weiner boy thinks a widow selling her late husband's hunting guns to a neighbor can and should be required to do a background check on the buyer. Shep thinks giving people life sentences for owning guns without insurance would send people like me to prison. He's not smart enough to realize people like me obey the law so wouldn't be touched ... what would happen is the mostly minorities committing crimes with guns would be locked up for life. It's amazing ... every idea liberals come up with is unworkable and would create effects opposite of those intended. Every one. Are you people just stupid?
