Editor,
Some years ago, the Democrats, who control our state Legislature, slapped us with the state sales tax added on top of the state and federal fuel taxes, so we are paying a sales tax on the price of gasoline plus the prior state and federal fuel taxes. That was bad enough when gasoline sold for $1.50 a gallon, and the sales tax was about 12 cents for each gallon. Today, with gasoline at over $3 per gallon, the state is raking in over 25 cents per gallon in sales tax, while the taxpayer is still getting one gallon of fuel. The state has more than doubled its take at the expense of the taxpaying suckers. Talk about gouging!
How about it Democrats? Where is your outrage at windfall profiteering?
John C. Buchanan, Hollister
