Comment | I am writing to voice my opposition to the gas tax associated with the cap and trade the will be effective Jan. 1, 2015. This tax will do nothing but drag California back into the recession. You cannot take 2 billion dollars out of the economy and not expect huge economic repercussions. Such as business, closing, layoffs, home foreclosures. This tax will hit every person in the state and especially hurt the working person/family who are just now trying to work their way out of the recession. This tax will force people to move out of state as they cannot afford to live here or their are no jobs to be had that they can get to support their families. Their are parts of the state that are still experiencing high unemployment, such as the central valley and this will just knock the legs out from underneath whatever ground the people might have gained back. The people will pay twice for this tax, first for their own vehicles and then in the form of higher prices for the items they have to have to survive (ie: food) So please do the people of this state a favor and eliminate this tax as there is absolutely nothing good that come from it in the way of helping the people of Ca. to provide for their families. Remember every dollar that comes out of the economy in the form of a tax is one less dollar that the people have in their pockets to save, or purchase items to continue to make the economy grow. So, use common sense and eliminate this tax for the good of every working person and retired person in the state. Thank you |
