texas proposition 7

[ceyko]

Why would anyone in their right mind vote for an increase in taxes when they have repeatedly shown the money they receive gets diverted to other causes, and they can't prove that the money they do spend on roads is spent efficiently?

This for sure. Look at all our toll roads on top of it.

I'm curious at where every penny goes for a gallon of gas in TX anyway. I could only find something high level. I'm sure there is a state tax or two in there anyway.

Anyone have the breakdown by any chance?

This is what I'm curious about. Is it a tax increase, or just a redirect...and is there really a difference with these fucks?

The toll roads anger me. Especially when they build them first, then pull their dick out of the collective ass of the public and jam the shit-dick right down our throats, by slowly completing the non-toll roads in a manner that forces use of toll roads.

I'm sure they have a pseudo-breakdown, but how accurate is it?

Yeah, I thought this would be an easy one to find though. Spent probably 5 minutes, but maybe my skills are lacking today.


i.e. I found this...



I'd just really think it would vary per state though.

I dunno...how about the state reexamines it's budget, cut out the crap, and reallocate. Texas defunded Planned Parenthood. There's some dough for roads.

I love how when the economy tanks, I have to adjust my budget to account for shortfalls/increased costs. But for the same thing, a government's first knee jerk reaction is to take more of my money rather than adjust it's budget.
