It always amazes me about how people can be so stupidly blind to recent history.
Gray Davis thought it was a wonderfully good idea to raise the car registration tax on people. The people then decided it was a wonderfully good idea to recall him as Governor and fire him. That ended up allowing Schwarzenegger to get the seat.
Now, basically less than a week out, this guy goes and puts out a statement thinking charging people by the number of miles they drive is a good idea. Keep in mind, CA already pays the highest in the state in taxes per gallon of gas purchased. The issue here is that they are losing money to EVs (which also have an electricity tax charge), so they want them to pay for road use too. But they also want people in expensive EVs without an affordable option to translate for the masses. I have no problem with pushing new technology, but using taxes to do it has consistently and repeatedly backfired. Yet the idiots persist.
Glorious. That is the great heritage of what would be a red state if one treasonous judge hadn't insisted that illegals be permitted to exploit public infrastructure. "Muh Roads" is no excuse for taxation.
Democrats have abused California to smuggle gangs and drugs onto the continent for long enough. They're endorsed by regimes we're at war with. They're communists and appeasers of communists. The backlash this time isn't going to be a Schwarzenegger. It's going to be tarring and feathering.
The state that gave Ronald Reagan two terms as governor will not remain enslaved to a foreign ideology. It will spark the flames of the Second Revolution. By reconquering the west coast we will fulfill the promise of 1776 at last.
OP is a Democrat, a leftist, this entire post is performative
... California doesn't have a revenue problem it has an accountability problem.
