Raising taxes takes 2/3s of the legislature in California. The Dems dont have 2/3s.

We can let the MBA run the numbers but of 80 seats 28 or 29 of them are Republican.

So once again, did the Cali legislature push through a new tax on gas or did they change the existing taxation of gas?

... if you're a Dem who rails daily and weekly against regressive taxation?


Ya still don't realize why this sentence is tripping you up?


Apparently you and many others don't realize why it is tripping you up.

I can't draw a map any more clear unless I opened up your skulls and tattoo'd it in on your (tiny) brains. The persistent denial of this shows me I've scored a 100% win on this topic.

I'm fully aware of The Outpost Prime Directive: True is False. Then is now. They are us. All hail NewSpeak!



So the answer is no, you don't realize it. Even though it's been pointed out a few times. You've sadly fallen into a Paulian Pitfall, the false premise.

So sad.

A. Dems in Cali -- ALL ON THEIR OWN -- have instituted a 100% regressive tax on the most used and pervasive commodity in the state, disproportionately reaming every working man and woman therein on every purchase they now make.

B. You are still predictably trying to figure out how to apologize for and/or rationalize it.

1) F*ck you.
2) Tell me exactly what is incorrect about statements A. or B.
3) F*ck you.

This is a straight forward question that is easy to answer but you are dodging it.

To be fair, trolling by stupidity is a common, if somewhat less respected, tradition on the Outpost.

Yes... this chance to repeatedly flame you guys has been cathartic. Almost a guilty pleasure.

Almost.
