It does not surprise me in the least that you are all for punishing corporations who make profits. How much exactly do you think they should be able to make? 1%, .5%, run in the negative?rn79870 wrote:Like I said Matt, the oil companies aren't the ones paying for the roads we all drive on. How do you propose to pay for them, a lottery? Donations? Higher taxes from the middle class?
Quit complaining about taxes on oil. They make, as I pointed out above, transportation 6 times cheaper than the free market roads are.
Big oil, meet Sarah Palin, the barracuda.

Perhaps because the residents are so darn smart?telcoman wrote:State gasoline tax is one of the lowest in the nation and technically it is against the NJ State law to pump your own gas.
Why do the NJ voters tolerate such rubbish?
Oh, and Bob - Your CA freeways leave a LOT to be desired. Biggest potholes I've ever seen, and I've driven in 30+ states.
Which one is it, the 4-oh-something? Horribly under-maintained...

Agreed! It is not better in Northern California either. Here is what I said:AZhitman wrote:Oh, and Bob - Your CA freeways leave a LOT to be desired. Biggest potholes I've ever seen, and I've driven in 30+ states.

Even newly built highways (like the section of Highway 87 through downtown San Jose) are so badly built, IMHO, that I find it a waste of money. On 87, every expansion joint was left with ridges that they only recently got around to "shaving" down. Jolted the heck out of my car every time I went over them. The roadway undulates so much that you feel like you are in a roller coaster!
Our liberal CA government spends its money (massive revenue compared to other states) on entitlement programs and does not spend on basic infrastructure repair.

Maybe one day they will figure out what causes their deficits? Oh, Ahnold is supposed to be a Republican so they have an excuse already.

He has been trying to cut back on the over-spending, lack of budgets, etc. Been hampered all along the way.audtatious wrote:Maybe one day they will figure out what causes their deficits? Oh, Ahnold is supposed to be a Republican so they have an excuse already.
The CA legislature just does not get it ...
