More NC Taxes for you
In case you missed it in the closing minutes of the Legislature, the Democrats approved yet another tax increase after spending the $2 BILLION surplus. This one was another tax on road usage. You see, since the Democrats continue to use taxes that are collected from gasoline on non-road usages, they don't have enough money to maintain the roads. If you drive in North Carolina, you don't need me to tell you that our roads are incredibly sub-par.
This plan creates new toll roads, allegedly to pay for the constructions of some other toll roads. Don't believe it, it's a lie, plain and simple. The toll road receipts will go into the general fund for the Democrats to spend at will, as they always do. It's just a way for them to get more money to spend while claiming they didn't raise taxes. Want better roads? How about using the entire amount collected from gas taxes and all automobile taxes (property, registration, title, impact fees, fines, etc.) for roads? We'd have the best roads in the country because we already HAVE the money. The Democrats just don't want to spend the money on roads because they're more concerned with building oyster farms and the like.
