States Need Funds For Infrastructure...

New tax hikes eyed for roads, transit
January 25, 2013 - States are scrambling to find taxes to pay for highway repairs and their public transit systems, including payroll and sales taxes, and raising taxes paid by gasoline stations.

The proposals, being kicked around in at least 13 states as governors lay out their legislative agendas for the year, come as states find revenue from stagnant federal and state gasoline taxes isn't keeping up with highways, bridges and urban transit systems that increasingly are falling into disrepair. "We're seeing a wide variety of funding and financing proposals being put forward to address funding transportation crises," says Jaime Rall, transportation senior policy specialist at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

Among them:

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, a Democrat, is considering several options to raise about $1 billion a year, including raising the state's 21-cents-a-gallon gasoline tax, raising the sales tax, increasing the income tax or imposing a tax based on the miles a vehicle travels.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican, wants to scrap the 17.5-cents-a-gallon state gasoline tax and increase the state's 5% sales tax to 5.8%, with the additional money going to transportation. If passed by the Legislature, Virginia would become the only state without a gas tax paid at the pump.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican, wants to remove a cap on the oil company franchise tax paid by gas stations to raise an estimated $1.9 billion a year.

Does this really have to be explained?

In one way the country is like a company. Without investment by the owners, there is no competition. We need modern roads and bridges and rails to move product and supplies. We need sewers and clean water. We need an uninterrupted source of electricity.

Republicans have fought to keep from investing in America. They see medical bills being the number one cause of bankruptcy as a "success". They don't want Americans educated.

In fact, when you look at what al Qaeda wants for America and what Republicans want, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference, not really.

Fine. But, don't come here bitching when your street falls apart, you open the tap and no water comes out, the sewer backs up into your bathroom and the bridge you cross going to work collapses and kills someone.

Ok? Take the minuscule amount you'll save in taxes and fix all that yourself. Be a good, self-reliant, right-wing, tax free, Nutter citizen!
