$0.20 to $0.40 Gas Tax Coming!

[CA renter]

I would also support an additional gas tax. Remember how nice the freeways were when gas was over $4.00/gal? I love taxes when the taxpayer has control over the amount he/she is taxed.

All that being said, I’d love to see an organized, volunteer, taxpayer advocacy group that would have control over this money. It wouldn’t do us any good if they raised taxes but didn’t correct how they are spending the money. Like sand running through your fingers, tax revenues run through politicians’ hands. We need strong oversight by people who cannot be bought off, and are not affected by lobbyists.

Taxing gas to build public transport makes sense, but a high speed rail network is only a partial solution in my view. What do you do when you arrive at your station? The way soCal is laid out, you’ll need an extensive local public transportation system as well to service the high speed network, and work places will need to be more clustered. With the cost of land so high, I see development becoming more vertical. Downtown LA is going through a metamorphosis, with many loft style dwellings offering an alternative to suburban living. Town planning needs to embrace the Roman idea of a hub.

What makes the most sense is to start reducing the state government payroll. For starters we can’t afford their lavish benefits and pensions.

But that won’t happen – instead just stick it to the tax payers.

Actually, the private sector has done a *grand* job reducing our pension fund all by itself. No need for government intervention there.

And FYI, public employees are tax-payers too.
