    Add up the increase in fuel taxes in part to build more bike trails and mass transit to the price of the low carbon fuel standard as well as California's cap and trade system you're easily talking about a .25 increase in the price of a gallon of fuel.

    The fuel tax is also used to pay for mass transit projects. These projects were sold to the public as another way for the state to reduce greenhouse gases. The other thing I cited was the fuel blend that California mandates.

    SAN FRANCISCO — Even as drivers debate repealing California’s recent gasoline-tax hike, an often-overlooked state program has quietly helped push fuel prices higher.

    Dubbed the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, the program is designed to fight climate change by forcing oil companies to lower the “carbon intensity” of the fuels they sell in California.


    For years, it had little effect on gasoline prices, tacking on an estimated 3 or 4 cents per gallon.

    Over the past year, however, the program’s effect at the pump has been growing, because of a run-up in prices for a type of tradable credit at the heart of the program. Although the fuel standard’s exact impact on retail gasoline prices is impossible to track, the Oil Price Information Service now estimates it to be 8.5 cents per gallon.

    The gas-tax hike, signed into law in April by Gov. Jerry Brown to pay for road repairs, stands at 12 cents per gallon. California’s cap-and-trade system for limiting greenhouse-gas emissions adds another 12 cents, according to several estimates.

    Brilliant rebuttal Hondo, you completely destroyed his argument.

    Is Hondo like the retarded mascot of this board? Is he tolerated here they way some families tolerate their mentally challenged relations?

    I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the zeitgeist of this place.

    He got the HondoFS name for a reason...
    Keep arguing about how tax cuts have increased revenue. On our way to a trillion dollar deficit.
    You are one dumb mother fucker. You never fail to disappointment on that.

    Hondo is a leftard. Leftards don’t do numbers and sh*t. Leftards don’t care about the private sector working families. Yeah, the fraud of global warming only costs a few cents. Like the price of a gallon of gas in Cali is $3.63 a gallon. In Texas its $2.59 a gallon. So, each 20 gallon tank of gas costs a working family an extra $20.80 cents. Then electricity prices are 19.9 cents a kilowatt hour. In Texas, 11.4 cents a kilowatt hour. So, Hondo feels that having an electrical bill that is 75% higher is just a few cents. Hondo is a rube that feels that he is somehow smarter that the conservatives on this board. Hondo needs to go get his participation ribbon and a hug from an adult. Then it’s back home in the short yellow bus.

    That's not because of global warming. That's cause California taxes. Nice rant tho.

    And I'll trust the work of people who study the climate for a living over politicians, oil companies, and political pundits.
    And the rationale for most of those California taxes?

    Dumb as a fucking rock
    The special fuel blend that CA requires as well as the recent additional 12 cents a gallon gas tax is all sold as a way to address global warming.
    Wut??? (Copy pasta below)

    The bill is expected to raise about $5 billion a year to fund state and local transportation projects ranging from fixing potholes to promoting bicycling to reducing congestion on major highways. Several Republicans and anti-tax groups are trying to overturn the increases. One proposal would require any increase in car, gasoline or fuel taxes to be approved by voters, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017, said Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

    The world is simple. There are infinite resources. We just have to share them with eachother. But westerners aren't allowed to use cheap energy. But China and India can. And the environment is incredibly important so we need lots of laws protecting it. But not in China and India or Africa. But if we just give these countries all manufacturing and all energy usage and all rights to all resources then the world will be at peace because there are infinite resources that people in power will just share with us for no reason. Thank you for listening Obama 2020 Impeach Drumpfst
