Washington state is leading the way for the highest freakin’ Gas Tax in the nation.
I can remember paying a dollar twenty nine period for a gallon of gas. Now that’s just the STATE TAX they are piling on top of the rest of the costs.
You would think that you could roll a marble from one end of the state to the other because our roads are so smooth.
NOT.
I’ve seen potholes around here that will bend the rims on your car if you hit them going fast enough.
Torn Up doesn’t even begoin to describe the surface roads around here.
They are gouging the shit out of us all over the state to pay for their Boondogle Pet Projects up North around Seattle. Including massive , never ending bridge projects and of course, the INFAMOUS Electric Ferry Boondoggle for the Puget Sound area.
Instead of buying new diesel powered ferries, The Climate Hoaxers approved a bid from a company CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY to have a couple of Battery Powered Ferries built and delivered.
The DemonRats that have had a stranglehold on every higher office in this state since the day they got Mail In Ballots shoved through and have since finagled more grift and money laundering than you could possibly imagine. It’s eye watering the amount of insane climate scams they have going and Surprise Surprise, their fellow DemonRats are cashing in hand over fist.
It’s a fucking criminal enterprise that rivals anything every other Blue state you see headlines about and more.
We even have the Somali daycare scam going full blast and they criminalized investigating it because Wink Wink, they have already looked at it and found no wrong doing.
The day is coming when all these crooked bastards are going to get exposed from one end to the other.
The question is, will there ever be any convictions and penalties?
I’ll be over here in the corner holding my breath.
I have two second cousins in Yakima. Lefties. They can’t get enough government. We don’t talk much.
Back in the early seventies, I worked at a service station while attending high school. This was in Texas. During the gas wars when the major oil companies were trying to put the independent stations out of business we sold gas for as low as 12.9 cents per gallon. You could fill up for about $2.
That was the 60’s for me, down in Lubbock. Gas wars would get gas down to 5cents a gallon. I helped my brother in law sometimes. He ran a Walts Gas Station on 4th street. The brothers would come in and say gimme 50 cents uh regluh.
“The question is, will there ever be any convictions and penalties?”
It’s been 18 months since Trump’s second term. With all of the scandals from his first term and the fraud that’s been exposed so far, HAS ANYONE OF CONSEQUENCE been arrested and charged besides Comey? That should answer the question.
The systems the rats use to enrich themselves and control the rest of us have to be bypassed first. Patience grasshopper. No point in prosecuting any of them if they still have theirs systems of control in place.
They are emboldened to grow their FA’s until someone snaps and they FO.
Quit yer bitching and MOVE!!!
Fortunately I live close enough to a neighboring state that it only takes twenty minutes to go buy gas there. I also use the trip to buy groceries and frequent restaurants. Seriously considering moving in a few years when I retire.
However, I firmly believe that the infrastructure build out and replacement being put in place now will take the profit out of politics. Every penny of federal money going to states will be tracked and viewable on a public ledger by anyone. No more diverting funds to NGO’s, shadow programs, the governors cousin Leroy. I believe the “cost” of goobermint is about 90% less that we are led to believe. 90% is simply stolen by the rats and now every system put in place by the rats is being permanently bypassed with publicly viewable ledgers auditable by anyone 24/7. This is just the start. Once the public sees how effective this is for federal funds, they will demand it for State funds because 90% of state funds are stolen too. THIS is why our state taxes are going up so much. The money spigot is being turned off everywhere the rats turn. Their only choice is more and new taxes. This should give you some idea of why they want Trump unalived so bad. Never mind the fact he just broke the City of London and their death grip on energy control worldwide. The middle east will no longer be paying tribute to the Square Mile.
So Phil: Will you be getting your gas in Oregon now? I know a lot of Vancouver does their shopping across the border to avoid Washington’s sales tax. With a bit of planning, such a trip could be worth quite a bit now.
